We all know that an ally is a person of privilege working to uplift marginalized groups and advance inclusion, but what does an ally actually look like?
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to look (or identify) a certain way to be one. According to Andre Herring, Diversity and Inclusion Specialist at Spin, privilege is intersectional, so everyone has the ability to be an ally!
Join us as Andre shares his expertise about ways to leverage your intersectionality and empower others by practicing allyship.

- Ways to close the gap in allyship through intersectionality
- Steps to educate yourself and build safe spaces for others
