  1. The Importance of Allyship in Building Cross- Cultural Relationships Being an ally doesn’t just mean you’re supporting someone; it means you’re offering support for a cause. Allyship involves anyone who actively advances and advocates for inclusion. A good ally is someone who champions diversity and consistently emphasizes social justice through conscious efforts. Allyship is an important cog in building long-lasting, cross-cultural relationships. It makes a workplace or any environment anti- oppressive for people of color as well as representatives of the LGBTQ+ community, functioning to benefit people of all backgrounds. Building bonds, empathy, and inclusive leadership are all part of what allows allyship to bridge the gap between different groups, forming progressive behaviours and initiatives that inspire everyone to do better. www.toughconvos.com

  2. How Do I Practice Allyship? Allyship is not an exact science. Even experienced allies aren’t sure what to do in certain situations with conflicting emotions. The biggest thing about allyship is that you must listen and be empathetic, asking how and where you can help others. And, not only do you listen to the person or groups you’re engaging with, you speak up whenever you hear things like biased language or language that is offensive to any minority group. www.toughconvos.com

  3. How Can I Be a Good Ally in the Workplace? Being an ally in the workplace means you understand your privilege. If you’re someone who has been a beneficiary of privilege — whether racial, educational or economic — you should use it to help others around you to grow. Black folk, Latinx folk, and LGBTQ+ people experience discrimination daily. All voices need to be heard, so a good ally is never selective. Studies have shown, for example, that 36% of women have seen their colleagues question their capabilities within their area of expertise. www.toughconvos.com

  4. How Allyship Improves Relationships The foundation of allyship centres around building bonds, understanding others, and relating to their daily struggles. Doing so has a profound impact in the workplace, with studies showing that 35% of an employee’s investment in work and 20% of their willingness to continue at their workplaces depend on inclusion. Inclusive leadership makes all the difference, cutting out biases and anti-diversity beliefs from the top so they don’t trickle down to lower layers of the work enterprise. It’s time to use your influence for the greater good. Let’s have a tough conversation about allyship and how you can use it to champion positive change in your organization to make it a more inclusive environment for everyone.
