Listen to Allyship Stories.
I produced this community storytelling project called “The Mess” using submitted recordings of allyship failures, successes and experiences as part of the mini series of workshops by the same name. It was created as an accompanying resource and interactive component of the event which strived to normalize allyship failures and encourage community members to live in and embrace the messiness of Allyship.
