The way to open your heart, listen and learn about social and racial justice

The Authentic Allyship

While people were fussing on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, I've been creating just for you. I've pulled out and together content that's been used successfully with my clients in transformational coaching programs. These tools and techniques were created to address how to conquer obstacles and remove blindspots more easily. You must learn to forgive yourself quickly for past deeds and be able to go forward confidently with a plan that is impactful for Black, Indigenous and People of Color you desire to be an ally of Black, Indigenous and People of Color while being the real you.

Faking it won't work and you know this because you have seen too many people getting called out.

Here's what I know: Shaming does not work. The barrage of facts hasn’t helped. Analogies, concepts and incredibly compelling content has lead to more confusion. This is all a new language for you and you're struggling to understand how this fits into your new realizations and how to NOT offend someone unintentionally. You also need to understand what it is that you did or said that is perceived as painful or infuriating and resulted in big misunderstandings that resulted in you feeling a bit shy and confused about doing anything.

You want some patient understanding and guidance from people have both knowledge and experience who want to help you. You want a place to ask questions that can't be talked without trouble ensuing on social media.
