The Ripple Effect: Allyship in Action

Meet Sam, a new team member, feeling out of place on their first day. 

Chris noticed Sam’s hesitation and decided to step up as an ally.

Allyship begins with listening. Chris asked Sam how they were settling in.

Being an ally means learning about different experiences and perspectives.

Chris also spoke up during meetings to ensure Sam’s ideas were heard.

Allyship isn’t just about individuals—it’s about inspiring a culture of inclusion. 

Peer advocacy amplifies voices. Chris encouraged others to support Sam’s contributions.

Small acts of allyship create ripples of change. 

Together, they built a space where everyone felt seen, heard, and valued.

Allyship starts with one action but leads to a culture of belonging.
