Being a good ally means recognizing and honoring the work that came before us. It's not just about getting in the room; it's about understanding the history and efforts of those who paved the way for change.
While we can't control personal identifiers, it's crucial to focus on what we do once we enter the room. However, entering the room is just the beginning. As advocates and allies, we must go beyond our individual achievements and acknowledge the organizations and individuals who have paved the path. By understanding and honoring their work, we ensure progress trickles down and reaches those who need it the most.
Let's commit to actively learning about marginalized communities' challenges and amplifying their voices. Together, we can create a more inclusive and equitable future.
