The objective of this presentation is to improve workplace and community culture through appropriate advocacy of marginalized populations (race, gender, disability, orientation). We talk about how you can make a difference for those populations while not appearing to have a "savior" mentality or approach, which can be perceived as demeaning. We explain the similarities and differences between being a champion and ally, equality vs. equity, and the day to day experience of microaggressions. In order to be an effective champion & ally, we must do a deep dive into 3 important questions.
