Misconception: Some hesitate to become allies because they fear making mistakes or not knowing enough, thinking allies must be perfect advocates. Reality: Allyship is a journey, not a destination. Making mistakes is part of learning and growing as an ally. What matters is the commitment to progress and the willingness to listen and learn from missteps. Addressing It: Foster a culture of open dialogue and forgiveness, encouraging individuals to share their learnings from mistakes. Provide resources and support for those looking to begin or advance their allyship journey.
