How To Be an Ally by Claire Godding and Axelle Van Hende
On Friday, the 12th of September, Multicultural Network in Finance hosted our webinar on How To Be an Ally. This session gave us insights into what allyship is and how you can promote multicultural inclusion through allyship
What did we take away from this session?
✅ The dos of allyship are as follows:
- Listen actively with ownership
- Acknowledge and value differences
- Amplify voices
- Reflect on your biases
❌ The don’ts of allyship are as follows:
- Don’t tokenise
- Don’t assume sameness
- Don’t minimise experiences
- Don’t stay silent in difficult moments
👏 Thank you, Claire, Axelle, Eddy and Mathy, for this thoughtful and powerful session
As a call to action from our webinar, commit to being an ally by signing our Multicultural Network in Finance Pledge for Employees/Management
