I was a little annoyed about that at first. But my special guest helps me understand. Content Warning: Brief mentioning of depression and suicide.

Just in time to close out 2023, the band is back together!

We're continuing our live series "Blind Centered Audio Description" with a conversation on Allyship. 

Plenty of people claim to be allies, but how many of us actually know what true allyship is supposed to look like? Too often, much of what we experience is performative. 

Take a listen to this live conversation and then consider those you and many of us in the community perceive to be an ally.
