Ask Dr. Akilah Cadet how to be a better ally, and she\\u2019ll first tell you this: Allyship is a waste of time, because allyship allows for comfort.\\xa0 Instead, the Founder and CEO of Change Cadet, an organizational development consulting firm offering a wide array of anti-racism and diversity services for companies and global brands, calls on each of us to join the lifelong work of being an ACCOMPLICE to change.\\xa0

This week, Phoebe sits down for a powerful discussion with Dr. Cadet on the slippery nature of allyship and how all of us can become soldiers of change in the workforce (and beyond) through a consistent process of learning and unlearning the biases and privileges that shape us. Tune in to learn how Dr. Cadet drew on her many experiences of judgment, \\u201cisms,\\u201d and barriers in the workplace when evolving Change Cadet, how she finds room for causeless, selfish joy, and why she believes Beyonc\\xe9 is the gold standard for leadership.

Noteworthy quotes:

[30:05] Allyship is a waste of time. Allyship allows for comfort.

[31:47] Being an accomplice is not a point of arrival. It\\u2019s lifelong, and it\\u2019s always happening.\\xa0

[36:40] I don\\u2019t limit myself. I allow myself to go where I\\u2019m inspired, where I feel like there\\u2019s opportunity to create.\\xa0
