Sarah Sheridan: Allyship is work

Allyship has been on everyone’s lips this year – and the conversation is incredibly overdue.

But what does it mean to be an ally?

How do we move beyond tokenism to a place of genuine allyship?

What kind of self examination is required?

What are the barriers in place and how do we break them down?

To unpack these big questions, I invited Sarah Sheridan on to the podcast.
