Allyship Journey Reflection Tool

This tool is helpful for you to reflect on your own life experiences as you move through your allyship journey. The scores are arbitrary but they will give you an indication on how certain aspects of your life journey may differ to others. Note: Everyone’s journey is unique. No personal details are recorded.

Please answer all questions before submitting.

Your Reflection Summary

Understanding Your Score:
  • More Points = More Potential Perceived Privilege: A higher score indicates that you have encountered fewer societal friction points, systemic barriers, or identity-based challenges throughout your life journey.
  • Fewer Points = Less Perceived Privilege: A lower score highlights areas where your journey may have involved navigating systemic, physical, social, or structural hurdles that others might not have to think twice about.

Use these insights not as a judgment, but as a bridge to spark meaningful conversations and build empathy for the lived realities of those around you.

More about Allyship

  • Allyship is showing up for one another. It’s:

    Acknowledging the unique experiences of each individual

    Actively listening to understand another's experience and gain empathy

    Respecting each other for our similarities and differences, creating a sense of belonging

    Standing up for those who experience discrimination and fostering an environment of zero tolerance

  • Allyship is fundamental to creating an inclusive workplace culture where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. By actively challenging biases, amplifying marginalized voices, and fostering psychological safety, allies contribute to a more equitable and empowering work environment.

  • Privilege is a right or advantage available only to a particular group or person.

    Acknowledging our own privileges is the first step to truly showing up for others.

    Every single one of us has some form of privilege, such as being able-bodied or college-educated or neurotypical. Some people’s privileges add up to be greater than others, and allyship is about using the privileges we do have to advocate for those who don’t have those same advantages.
