How NOT to be an Ally (BMB #14)

Video Description

Hollywood has never been good at engaging with issues about race, however in some cases they are downright awful and as far as I can tell have yet to learn anything on how to be better. To be honest, they aren't learning cause they're not trying and that is what it is. However... what about you? Are you interested in learning more about allyship with marginalized groups? Do you have a sinking feeling in your gut around how to do more to help those who are being marginalized by social injustice? Well, today is your lucky day. In this video, I'm going to give some broad strokes on how and why Hollywood is so bad at showing what it means to be an ally (which is why most of us are also bad at it) and I'm also going to talk to some experts in the field who teach people what good allyship looks like and why it's so hard for a lot of people to understand. If you're interested in learning more about allyship please sign up for Uplifting Impact's "How to be an Ally" Virtual Summit happening October 4th through the 6th. It's a 3-day virtual training designed for people who want to learn a positive, healthy framework for diversity, equity, and inclusion.
