“You can tell the tree by the fruit it bears. You see it through what the organization is delivering as far as a concrete program. If the tree’s fruit sours or grows brackish, then the time has come to chop it down—bury it and walk over it and plant new seeds.” —Huey P.

"In every community, there is work to be done. In every nation, there are wounds to heal. In every heart, there is the power to do it.” —Marianne Williamson
As with many self-initiated journeys, there are habits and tips that can help you along; the journey to building allyship is no different. In September 2020, I launched a membership community for healthcare and wellness professionals who wanted to learn what true allyship looks like. My mission was to provide a platform for BIPOC professionals to share their expertise, facilitate a space of accountability, challenge ideas in a constructive way, nurture community learning, and help others strengthen their voices and stance as advocates in their own communities. Observing Building Allyship community members over the last few years gave me insight into soft skills and approaches that made their journeys successful and over the next 3 episodes I will be sharing 7 habits for building effective allyship.

If you were looking for event spaces to book for a birthday party, it’s not likely a morgue would be on your list. Why? Because a morgue is a place that handles death; a necessary space but not created with the intent of a celebration of the living. Understanding the intention of a space we occupy helps us calibrate expectations to appropriately meet the moment.
When George Floyd was murdered in 2020, there were reactions of grief, anger, hopelessness, etc. At that same moment, Floyd’s death awakened White people to social injustices that had been in existence for hundreds of years. And because we were just a few months into the pandemic, all of those people who were mourning and waking up were expressing themselves on social media.
On one hand, people were speaking out more and learning from so many. The chaos came when White people who were just waking up were asking Black people who were mourning to educate them. Watching that chaos unfold was what inspired me to start Building Allyship. Marginalized humans understand the power of being in community with their people, it is essential to our survival. White people who wanted to be better allies needed a space where they could learn, challenge their beliefs and find community with others who were on the same journey.
In this introductory episode Dr. Jpop talks about what becoming an effective ally entails, why learning the history of the US and social injustices need to happen in an intentional space, and what to expect from this podcast. Neighborhood Action Steps:
