Description

Most diversity and inclusion initiatives focus on changing the behavior of targets of oppression, rather than allies. This talk will explain why we should focus on changing the behavior of allies instead. It will describe about a dozen specific ally skills and talk about effective ways to develop your own ally skills, including attending the Ally Skills Workshop.

Speaker:

Valerie Aurora is the founder and principal consultant of Frame Shift Consulting, a diversity and inclusion in tech consulting firm. She is the lead author of the Ally Skills Workshop, which teaches people with more power and influence how to support people with less. She is the co-founder and former executive director of the Ada Initiative, a non-profit that supported women in open technology and culture. Prior to that, she worked as a Linux kernel and file systems developer at Red Hat, IBM, Intel, and other companies.

Agenda:

6-6:30 PM: Welcome, enjoy a light dinner and beverages
6:30-7:15 PM: Valerie's Talk
