Conversations around race and discrimination in the workplace and in America have been a constant for generations. While most conversations are uncomfortable, they are necessary in moving toward true equity, diversity and inclusion. Being an ally to Black people and other marginalized groups should be an innate response to social injustice. But before you can do that, you have to have an uncomfortable conversation with yourself to fully understand where you stand as an ally. We’ll discuss what allyship looks like and how you can uncover personal truths that help lead to a better tomorrow.
