Show Notes

In this episode, Allie and special guest Aurooba Ahmed discuss the challenges of being a diversity advocate - both as an underrepresented person and as an ally. Namely, how challenging it can be when you don't know what to say, don't want to be loud, or don't want to draw attention to yourself. We name tons of useful ways to be a quiet or hidden advocate.
