Word of the Day : Allyship

Awkward is my Superpower
Allyship: noun

the status or role of a person who advocates and actively works for the inclusion of a marginalized or politicized group in all areas of society, not as a member of that group but in solidarity with its struggle and point of view and under its leadership: Genuine allyship does not come with special recognition—we do not get awards for confronting issues people have to live with every day.

Women would have been unable to gain the right to vote without the strong allyship of legions of men who stood with them and worked tirelessly to change the laws.
