This is such good advice, in all areas of life, not just Black allyship.

I can only think the world would be a significantly happier place, if we all had a healthier approach to conflict and saw people-pleasing for what it is: a slippery slope that turns us into frightened sheep.

Now is the time the world least needs any of us to be frightened to speak - or not to speak - out of a false sense of protecting others’ sensibilities.

Thank you for sharing such a thought-provoking piece.
