Is your allyship performative? Here are a few questions to ask yourself:
1. Are the people that I claim allyship to able to correct me?
2. When I am corrected, do I get defensive?
4. Am I quick to cite my credentials, work, and connections when people attempt to call me out/in?
8. Have I been called out/in by marginalized people more than once in the past three months for my problematic/harmful behavior?
10. Are there advocacy spaces to which I am unwelcome because of my past problematic behavior?
12. When confronted, do I listen to hear or to respond?
13. Do I make a point to show off how much I know?
15. Is my activism/advocacy all about me?
16. Is my “work” carefully observed and open to critique or revision by marginalized people?
