Navigating Allyship

In this episode, we explore allyship - How to support black people and other people of color in the fight for equity, protection from police brutality, and to dismantle systemic racism. We also discuss how allyship can go wrong when well-meaning white people take the mantle of ally but fail to check in with black leadership or center black people. My guests are: John Jones, III, Director of Community & Political Engagement at Just Cities; formerly incarcerated; and a single father of two. Jocelyn Prince, Principal at ALJP Consulting; Associate Member of Beehive Dramaturgy Studio NYC; and Faculty of Theatre & Performance Studies at Northwestern University Elz Cuya Jones, Deputy Director at the North Star Fund.
