In cooperation with aequa and Jarral Boyd: When we talk about issues of equality, social justice and inclusion, what does it actually mean to be an ally? This workshop examines the concept of being a so-called “ally,” exploring questions like:<\/p>\n

\u2023 Who gets this label and who gives it?<\/p>\n

\u2023 How does one engage in conversation about marginalized communities that they are not a part of?<\/p>\n

\u2023 How can we avoid turning attempts to support into even more emotional labor for those we want to help?<\/p>\n

These topics and more will be discussed in this interactive workshop hosted by Jarral Boyd in cooperation with aequa.<\/p>\n

The workshop will be conducted in English.<\/p>\n

The facilitator:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jarral Boyd<\/strong> is a linguist and educator who hails from one of the most segregated cities in the United States. Having a black father and indigenous mother, she never had the advantage of ignoring the impact of systematic racism, but it wasn’t until she finally decided to take up roller derby that she became passionate about education and communication on the subjects of white feminism\/fragility, implicit bias, and the responsibilities of so-called allyship.<\/p>\n

In her 13th year here in Berlin, she now captains her team and heads her rolly derby league’s Inclusion Committee, as well as offering workshops on these subjects to the public.<\/p>\n
