KEY POINTS:
QUOTABLES:
“You do not have to be a person who is a practitioner of the work, who also happens to be queer, and also happens to be nonbinary — you do not have to adopt all of these things. Part of being an ally is being able to position yourself in the discomfort of building empathy.” – Amber Cabral
“This is not about the workplace. This is about how you show up in the world.” – Jessica Hurley
“Allyship is work. It's work. Advocacy is work: ‘I gotta be uncomfortable. I am pushing against a system I do not think is working for everyone.’” – Amber Cabral

This podcast provides a path to self-awareness in the most refreshing and engaging way. The conversations are so yummy (yes, yummy!) and they make me feel like I’m sitting on the sofa with Amber and her guests.
Just finished the first episode (whispers: via YouTube) and I was NOT ready for the conversation to end. So I came on over to the apple podcast streets to subscribe and listen again on my commute to work. While this is not the work I’m exclusively dedicated to, I want to increase awareness around equity so I can be more intentional in my practice personally and professionally. This conversation is an absolute resource that I have the PRIVILEGE (time) to tap into and I look forward to digging into new episodes every week.
Great listen/watch. People really underrate how important emotional intelligence is in business. Hopefully more people will listen and utilize some of the information shared.
I took away so much from this episode. The biggest is recognizing our true enemy. Also, equity is about choices. We have them and we can choose how to use our privilege.
