LGBTQ+ Anti-Racism:
How to be an Anti-Racist LGBTQ+ Leader or Ally

In this panel discussion, our panellists explored anti-racism through their own intersectional lens and share practical ways to confront personal and organisational bias, to influence inclusion and racial equity for LGBTQ+ people of colour in the workplace.

Overview of Session:
Like any habit, anti-racism requires a conscious decision to pursue it as a goal and way of being. Even as Queer leaders and DEI advocates, we often resort to existing within networks that resemble who we are. How then do we challenge our personal biases and identify where they are supported by institutional power and dominance?
When we can get curious and understand how bias impacts our behaviour towards LGBTQ+ people of colour, can we start to facilitate meaningful allyship that eradicates micro-inequities based on presumptions or ignorance.

Watch this session to...
Challenge unconscious biases and become consciously inclusive.
Learn to take action against racism and enact change in your workplace.
Create moments of connection to understand the experiences of LGBTQ+ colleagues from racialised backgrounds.
Expand your comfort zone with useful tools and resources for uncomfortable conversations.
