    019 2024 Allyship Strategy: Embodying Hope
    Jan 9 2024
    “That’s BEING hope; courageously bearing witness regardless of what the circumstance is because you are choosing to be a person of integrity to the best of your ability before the worms get your body. Boom, that’s it.” - Dr. Cornel West In this first episode of 2024, I wanted to talk about hope; something we are all in need of. When you are struggling to find hope, sometimes the answer is learning how to embody it yourself; understanding that being hope puts you in a place to receive that same energy down the line. Creating a strategy for how you will show up for others is a great avenue to embodying hope. Take a listen and I look forward to what 2024 holds for you and this Beyond Allyship community.

  • 018 Pause: Allyship Is Not...

    018 Pause: Allyship Is Not...
    Nov 14 2023
    We are raised in a society with its own set of values, and those values permeated every aspect of our culture. So naturally we're socialized to those same values unless we had experiences or humans in our life that showed us differently. When you decide to walk in allyship, there is an understanding that what you valued before may no longer align with your new journey. Because of this, it is important to be aware of how you’re showing up and to make sure supremacy culture isn’t seeping into your allyship. In this episode I talk about the ease of supremacy culture seeping into how we show up for others and what allyship is not.

  • 017 Pause: Collective Trauma and Fight or Flight Advocacy with Dr. Jpop and Dr. Lisseth London

    017 Pause: Collective Trauma and Fight or Flight Advocacy with Dr. Jpop and Dr. Lisseth London
    Oct 25 2023
    “Allyship is a way of life. It's a practice of assessing my beliefs, my values, the way that I function, and how that has been influenced by supremacy culture. Taking that data and deciding, ‘what do I need to unlearn that does not align with my desire to walk in allyship?’”-Dr. Jpop I decided to re-release an epsiode from this summer in light of the recent global attention to the conflict between Palestine and Israel that has been going for a very long time. I am not an expert, nor am I appropriately knowledgeable of this conflict to speak on the specifics; but I did want to share a resource that may help some of you re-center as you walk in allyship in this moment of history. The tragedies and events of the last few years have provoked many to question how they show up in the world, for themselves and for others. This has led to people speaking up to power more and taking steps to dismantle a culture that does not serve us. But continuously showing up in advocacy in a triggered state is helpful to no one. So how do we address it? In this episode, I brought Dr. Lisseth London back to educate us on collective trauma, fight-or-fight advocacy, and what steps we should take to make sure we are staying regulated while showing up for each other. Neighborhood Action Steps: Create your own plan for when you are triggered or in a state of burnout and determine who your accountability person will be. Share this episode with 3 people.

    016 Diversify Your Life with Katrina Liew Pilkington, M.S.
    Oct 10 2023
    “I've always opened myself up to everybody because I wanted to learn and grow and be diversified in my own right and I think that people need to do the same thing. Not because it feels good, but because many people of marginalized identities are scared of you and your nervous system's response to us existing.” - Katrina Liew Pilkington, MS The process of forming bias is natural, therefore having bias does not make you a bad person. But once you are aware of the biases you hold, you must explore how they impact others. Today’s guest, Katrina Pilkington, believes that everyone can do their internal work to ensure we are unified and not uniform as a collection of humans in our world. In this episode, Katrina shares with us what bias is, questions we can ask as we assess our circles of influence, and ways that we can diversify our lives.

    015 Intent vs. Impact
    Sep 26 2023
    “I’m sorry if that was offensive, I didn’t mean it like that.” But it landed like that, so now what should you do? When confronted about actions or words that have hurt someone, are you more concerned with how you meant to come across, or how you were received? Of course this applies to allyship, but it’s a life lesson for all human interactions. In this episodes I am talking about the importance of being more concerned with your impact than your intent. I share reflection questions that help you decipher how you respond to conflict as well as questions you can ask yourself in the midst of conflict where your impact and your intent are not aligned.

    "In every community, there is work to be done. In every nation, there are wounds to heal. In every heart, there is the power to do it.” —Marianne Williamson As with many self-initiated journeys, there are habits and tips that can help you along; the journey to building allyship is no different. In September 2020, I launched a membership community for healthcare and wellness professionals who wanted to learn what true allyship looks like. My mission was to provide a platform for BIPOC professionals to share their expertise, facilitate a space of accountability, challenge ideas in a constructive way, nurture community learning, and help others strengthen their voices and stance as advocates in their own communities. Observing Building Allyship community members over the last few years gave me insight into soft skills and approaches that made their journeys successful and over the next 3 episodes I will be sharing 7 habits for building effective allyship.
