In this impromptu episode, we talk about the concept of "allyship". We discuss why "6 easy steps on how to be a good ally" might not be enough and delved a little deeper into some of the assumptions regarding the definition of allyship. Our conversation also took a turn towards the notion of "performative allyship", the infamous "black block" example, and social justice activism on social media. As a cultural text, we briefly explored the "human shield" that was formed during #FeesMustFall as a perceived example of "allyship" in South Africa.

This episode was recorded as an informal conversation between two white women/ friends. While anyone is welcome to listen, we specifically aim this conversation towards people within a privileged position who might also benefit from pondering the concept of "allyship" more extensively. This episode is also informed by Jana's reflections on her academic research and master's thesis that is on the topic of allyship.
