#thursdayinspiration Allyship is not about the ally, it is about those who the ally shows up for and how they feel. Allyship is about action Allyship isn't performative Allyship is 365 days a year Allyship is supportive Allyship is empathy Allyship is rage against systemic barriers Allyship is contributing to a better society Allyship is about accountability Allyship is intentional commitment to calling things out Allyship is fundamental for creating a psychologically safe, equitable and inclusive environment You either are or you are not an ally, it's up to you. It's that simple. #allyship #equitydiversityinclusion #psychologicalsafety #actionoverwords

Your life is not just about you, It is also about contributing to others. It is about living true to your mission and reason for being here on Earth at this particular time in history. It is about adding your piece of the puzzle to the world. Don't be so stuck in your ego believing everything must revolve around you.Think of a way to give back to the society (adding value to people), starting from those around you. Be so inclined with the doctrine of being Value-driven oriented. That is the sole aim of your existence.... I'm Somto Obiefuna, I believe in the ground-breaking abilities of young people to perform daring tasks notwithstanding their age or background.

I found this HRBR article useful! I see lots of my co-workers shrinking away from being an ally because they more concerned with getting it wrong than staying silent. Take a read to learn more about encouraging authentic productive 'allyship' in your workplace.

Hey LinkedIn fam,  I Just finished the course “Becoming an Ally to All” by Kenji Yoshino.  While this short training module was less than 30 min long, it was PACKED with critical information on how to advocate for not only yourself, but others in the way THEY would like to be supported. This training confronts the idea that allyship and DEI practices are rooted in 'saving someone" or "helping those who can't help themselves". We as individuals are capable of self-advocacy and don't NEED saving, however, we ALL need a teammate in our corner to support us in the way WE choose to fight against ignorance.  One key takeaway that resonated with me most is, to own the impact regardless of intention. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/ebdahQsi #diversityinclusion #allyship.

Being an ally is a journey, "much like learning a language". It takes practice! I recommend the course “Becoming an Ally to All” by Kenji Yoshino! Check it out: https://lnkd.in/e-ZFT9X3 #diversityinclusion #allyship.

How you make space for the most vulnerable and the challenging in your schools speaks volumes on how inclusive you actually are. What spaces can be made to enable all students to receive the very best for them? To enable the most vulnerable and challenging till be successful? Create a culture of belonging for ALL students.

How do people act with dignity? Examples 1. People act with dignity by treating others with respect and kindness, regardless of their differences or opinions. 2. They maintain composure and control in challenging situations, showing grace under pressure. 3. Dignified individuals exhibit humility and are open to learning from others, even when they are in a position of authority or expertise. 4. They take responsibility for their actions and apologize when they make mistakes, showing integrity and accountability. 5. Dignity is also reflected in how people set boundaries and prioritize self-care, making decisions that align with their values and beliefs. 6. They show empathy and compassion towards those who are struggling or in need, offering support without judgment. 7. People who act with dignity are also able to stand up for what they believe in a respectful and non-confrontational manner, advocating for justice and equality. Umer E Khan Snr
