Sarah Sheridan: Allyship is work

November 19, 2020

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.


Sarah is the non-indigenous co-founder in the Aboriginal owned and led business, @clothingthegap. Sarah’s background is in health promotion and community engagement and she has a long history of working alongside the Victorian Aboriginal Community.


Sarah is reading: Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland by Patrick Radden Keefe, Kindred, by Kirli Saunders, and On All Fronts: The Education of a Journalist by Clarissa Ward.
