We can be Imperfect Allies® to people who live, look, and love like us, as well as to those who are demographically different from us.

What supports us when we give and receive Imperfect Allyship® from each other from within our communities? What do we need when those who are different from us on paper want to support us?

Paula Edgar joins Erica for a dynamic conversation about what can happen when Black women are allies to one another and Paula’s passion for supporting and prioritizing Black women.

In this discussion:

• How Imperfect Allies® within the Black community can use institutional and situational privilege to support other Black people
• How reparenting themselves and receiving mentorship can help Black women get comfortable with receiving support
• Why Black women need advocacy and allyship from each other
• What non-Black Imperfect Allies® can do to make change for Black women

Imperfect Allyship® requires you to get clear on your values and take action in alignment with what matters to you.

Every person you hire and every business you buy from brings you closer to or further away from your values. To get support in clarifying what matters so you can chart a course that prioritizes the impact you want to create, sign up for the From Implicit to Explicit Masterclass.
