In her own words:

“Allyship is the journey of a thousand miles, but it all starts with one step, one initiative, and one leader deciding to make a change. Are you that leader that the world has been calling for?

Allyship initiatives are a journey of love and heart centered leadership. They begin with one small change, but the ripple effect can be felt throughout an entire organization. 

Change begins with you. You are the leader the world has been waiting for. “
