Developing Advanced Ally Skills,” was held on June 9 and led by PFLAG Vice President of Learning & Inclusion Jamie Henkel (she/her).

Henkel set the tone by reminding attendees to treat the workshop as a safe learning space, assume we each can learn from anyone, and navigate disagreements with kindness. PFLAG Senior Manager of Learning & Inclusion Mackenzie Harte (they/them) co-presented the workshop, which included an interactive Q&A that prompted attendees to reflect on behaviors they associate with being an ally.
