26. Allyship and Anti-Racism with Alyssa Hall
When the Black Lives Matter movement resurged in 2020, many of us began (or reignited) our anti-racism journey –– selling out books, posting black squares, marching, and donating. Unfortunately, as is often the case with allyship, burnout quickly sunk in for many of us. Today’s guest is here to help us find ways to make our allyship more sustainable and build it on a foundation of anti-racism and activism so we can continue to fight for equality and equity without the burnout.
Alyssa Hall is an Anti-Racism Consultant and Leadership Coach whose work with her clients focuses on strengthening the leadership skills needed in promoting an anti-racist environment. In addition, she ensures her clients continually uphold their values of diversity, equity, and inclusivity, which in turn brings them greater success in their lives and their businesses.
