Allyship: Advocating for Yourself and Others

                             Saturday, September 14th | 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM |
                Impact Hub Seattle, 220 2nd Avenue South, Seattle, WA, 98104

In September, we will take a deep dive into what it actually means to advocate for ourselves and be an ally for others.

Join us as we explore allyship, share actionable steps that allies can take, and celebrate what allies are already doing to advocate for others. Speakers will include diverse members of the community - women and men - who will share their story and actionable ways allyship can impact lives.

Come explore what it takes to be an ally, especially for underrepresented communities, and you will walk away from this event with meaningful steps you can take to improve equality in your personal and professional life.

• Relationships are the only currency that matters
• Have real conversations about vulnerability
• Find a sponsor who advocates for you and tells you the truth
• Be a sponsor: center your work on someone else and let them
• Be an ally - call out someone else's work and accomplishments
• To increase your chances for a raise or promotion: document your contributions, think about how you can collaborative contribute to solve a problem
• Increase your wealth by increasing your self-worth. To start seeing the value in yourself, write down all of your skills, gifts, and talents
• Be kind yet visible!
