Being an ally is not about you, it’s about how best you can support an oppressed group.

At these sessions you are invited to: discuss the role of being a ‘Great Ally’, specifically in the context of the Black Girl Movement; hear first-hand from black womxn about their experiences and desires from allyship; find out how the Black Girl Movement also benefits you; and support each other to be great allies.
