What does real allyship look like? In the wake of continued racial unrest and our heightened cultural awareness of racial inequity, this episode is a valuable exploration of what it looks like to practically steward the privileges we have now. Rather than “giving a voice” to anyone, our best next step might be to pass the mic. On this episode of the podcast, we continue our conversation with the SVP of Kafene, Elisabeth Wadsworth, to discuss allyship, privilege, and what is stoking the passions of her heart now.
