The foundation of allyship is education. But with SO much information out there it can feel overwhelming - where do we even start?

Here's a ton of top tips for starting (or reigniting) your allyship education, as well as how NOT to educate yourself.

And you'll find a ton more tips for allies on The Inclusion Coach YouTube channel.

VIP podcasts share ideas on how to build everyday acts of allyship into our daily life, whether at work, at home or in our community. This week, my guest is Claire Johnson, DEI specialist at HGF. We share:

• Our personal experiences of how the enormity and complexity of inequity first smacked us between the eyes (the complexity of inequity - I like that!)
• The spectrum of allyship, and how every little helps
• Recommended EDI voices to follow
• Where to start with building an allyship mindset
• And if Claire ruled the world, what EDI policies she'd put in place

Enjoy, and let us know what you think!

Hello 👋 I'm Rebecca Berry and you'll find me on LinkedIn and YouTube as the Inclusion Coach. In the Very Inclusive People (VIP 😎) podcast I'll be suggesting practical inclusion actions for allies and chatting with VIPs who share their experiences of building an allyship mindset.

In this first episode, I introduce myself and talking about my own allyship journey. Trigger warning: this includes the struggle of a white person understanding the reality of white supremacy and racism.
