Breakout Sessions
Moving From Ally to Accomplice
Session Track: Surge and Soar
In her work and travels, Seena Hodges often hears people say things like, “I want to understand how racism continues to erode the fabric of this country,” “I want to be a better ally,” or “I want to know more about how I can make things better.” Then, they all end with the same sentence: “But I don’t know where to start.” Participate in an engaging, intimate interaction about allyship, privilege, and responsibility. Unpack the true meaning of allyship and consider ways that you can be a better human in your personal and professional life. You will leave this session with a plan for executing the work that authentic allyship requires.
