Allyship
I recently failed in an opportunity to show allyship. During a meeting, the presenter called an attendee the English version of the attendee’s (ethnic) name.

I noticed it right away, and thought about it but failed to correct them. The person whose name was colonized was very hurt and expressed it.

Next time, I won’t hesitate. I’ll be ready next time.

Have you had any similar experiences?

You may have failed…but just reading your post introduced me to new ideas. I’ve never heard of allyship or the idea of colonizing a name so now I am more aware so thank you for sharing. It made me do more reading and research.

My firm’s IT (especially system saving and file locating function) is so bad 😐😞 and they keep doing updates no one asked them for just to mess with the stuff we already got a hang of without doing anything about the issues we actually need fixed. Anyone else in a similar boat? Do you bill the client for the time it takes to fix the IT issue (or IT inefficiency generally, like time taken to find a file in a convoluted system)? Or is that supposed to be our non-billable time?

To the Antiracist Educators, when we have trolls who do not understand what being an Antiracist means, would you like me to allow them to post even though they are clearly posting here with no positive intent?

I could block them. They can easily go post somewhere else.

What do you think we should do?

I’ll leave this question up for one week.
