125 / How To Be An Ally with Aisha Suleiman

On this episode of This Is Woman’s Work we’re going to talk about how to be an ally. And since about 90% of our listeners are women, I’m talking mostly about WOMEN being allies women. More specifically, how we can be allies to Black women. Because, in my opinion, there isn’t a group of women who have the right to demand it more. And I’m so tired of constantly letting them down. I’ve asked Aisha Suleiman to join me for this necessary conversation, as she’s an award-winning diversity and inclusion leader, entrepreneur, and keynote speaker. Her company, The Inclusive Culture, helps organizations build a sense of community by empowering their employee resource groups and encouraging allyship in the workplace. Recognized as an EMpower 100 Ethnic Minority Future Leaders (2020), Aisha has worked with renowned global brands like Amazon and IPG Mediabrands. In 2022, Aisha launched True White Allies – a ground-breaking film project that shares the stories of historical White anti-racists from as early as the 1700s to inspire increased allyship and action. I have a strong belief that we can’t make any real, lasting progress as women, if ALL women aren’t considered, included, and advocated for. Let’s be in action, big and small, public and private, proactively and reactively… in action, together. Being an ally… now THAT is woman’s work.
