Allyship: Moving From Association to Accomplice

The 8:46 Series

June 30 | Noon – 1:30 p.m.

The goal of this session is to examine the idea that being an ally means that you move beyond association and that you embrace the idea of being an accomplice. We will examine what it means to be a healthy ally that develops the power to listen, learn and be led by those we seek to be an ally with. We will also identify challenges that can complicate the journey of being an ally.
