White Ally
This is the second of two episodes. If you haven’t already, listen to the first here. It’s also the final episode of 2019. And of Series 2! Thank you so much for listening!
Picking up from the last episode on BAME leadership, ‘Critical Mass’ featuring Allana Gay, we’re talking about what it means to be a good ally to your BAME colleagues, what the purpose is and what it looks like when it’s not easy.
We speak to Patrick Ottley O’Connor — Executive Principal, North Liverpool Academy — and Allana Gay again about what they’ve done and would like to see done to promote an equitable education system for people from all backgrounds.
We also hear from Pran Patel, teacher and equity activist, who teaches us about power, the racist/anti-racist spectrum and gives his advice about how to be an ally.
While this episode is about being an ally to your BAME colleagues the principle can be applied more widely to all aspects of diversity.
