56. How to Ally - a podcast by Tabitha & Anis
from 2020-06-05T10:00
In light of recent events over the last week, allyship in relation to race has received increased attention, and although the conversation is difficult, it needs to be had. Even though there’s been criticism about jumping into allyship just because of current events, the truth is, we’re always learning and any time is the right time to ally. We each have an opportunity to engage in the conversation even though it can be filled with fear or be uncomfortable to talk about, so we’re here today to discuss what it means to engage in longterm allyship, and how you can be anti-racist and inclusive.
With us today is Jenna Tenn Yuk - a writer, speaker, facilitator and performer. As a writer for publications like The Huffington Post and Ottawa Citizen, Jenna has been featured on CTV and CBC, and spoken at TEDx and The Walrus Talks. As a leader in conversations on the intersections of sexuality, faith, and race, Jenna specializes in speaking on being LGBTQ+ and Christian, equity and inclusion, and empowering people to express their stories through embracing their multiple identities.
