Defining allyship

This section of the module introduces the foundational concepts of allyship: what it is, what it is not, and why it matters.

You’ll explore key ideas such as implicit bias, performative allyship, and the crucial distinction between intention and impact. These concepts will help you begin to see allyship not as a fixed identity, but as an ongoing process and practice.
