Hey all. This week's Allyship Dojo will be a Wake-UP week. you can RSVP for teh facebook event here!
https://www.facebook.com/events/5358370804194725
While working on the Mastering the Game of Allyship Book, I was thinking about how best to make the process of promoting the book FUN, not only for me but for my supporters. Currently the most effective way for people show up as an Ally for me and my work is to get as many pre-orders for the book as possible.
I also want to create as many opportunities for people to practice the skills of the book as I'm writing it. I want this to feel like something that's participatory.
The biggest barrier I've personally run into as a promoter of my own work is that I'm worried I'm not good enough, and I'm afraid that the way I show up doesn't connect with a wider audience. The Kickstarter was proof that this was something not to be afraid of but it also taught me how much energy can go into getting the word out.
I couldn't have made it to where I am without your help and I don't plan on starting a habit of "doing things myself" again anytime soon.
Many people are afraid to show up as effective allies because they don't think they have the emotional resources to show up in the way they believe they are supposed to. But consistent results comes from taking small steps every day in alignment with the feelings you want to get from being an effective ally.
When I ask people why they want to be an effective ally most of the time it's so they can feel a sense of relief at being a "good person". Unfortunately relief is an emotion that isn't sustainable. To consistently get relief you have to always be in a state of tension. That constant tension and pressure actually ends up making people move AWAY from effective allyship because many people haven't done the emotional conditioning to hold that kind of tension for a long time. They choose to distract themselves or take ineffective actions that don't get real results.
I CAN say that promoting this kickstarter directly impacts my ability to help people, to change the world, to rewrite the cultural scripts on what it means to show up as a caring person in a complex world.
So let's make these next few months fun! Comment on this post or email me at [email protected] with any questions about how to increase your effectiveness as an ally TODAY. Let me know what's getting in the way of wanting to show up to promote the work. Let me know if there are ways that you'd like to see me to show up in a fun an engaging way!

This week is a grow up week in the Allyship Dojo!
We'll be focusing on how to recognize your own level of effective allyship
How to be an effective ally at every developmental level
How your allyship superpower shows up at the various levels
And how to attune to the developmental level of the people you want to be an effective ally towards!
See you there!

Also I just checked my wordcounts and I have hit 33k words on the book. Which means I'm a little more than halfway done. Also The Allyship Cookie pins have shipped!
Allyship Dojo Week 2: Cleaning up and overcoming Self Sabotage in Allyship

Hey all! We had a blast last week at the Allyship Dojo, waking up to the personality parts that make up our ego structure.
This next week we'll be focused on CLEANING UP. The cleanup phase of effective allyship is all about identifying the parts of us that DON'T want to be effective allies and identifying their deeper needs and getting them met so they don't have to self sabotage.
We'll be using a number of techniques to get in touch with these parts as we continue to work with the Big Mind Method
Also here's a sneak peek of how the Allyship Cookie Pins are shaping up!

Hey everyone!
This past month I've been hard at work on the book (up to 19000 words already!)
For the past 2 years I've been hosting an Allyship Dojo in the Allies for Black Americans FB group. This year I've decided to open the event up to my kickstater backers!
The Allyship Dojo will Wednesday May 4th (Star Wars Day) at 6pm PST.
What happens in the Dojo? A little bit of everything. It's designed to be a low pressure high engagement environment for people to learn how to be an effective ally. It's designed to work like a yoga class or martial arts class.
There is a little bit on instruction but mostly its working through forms and exercises to strengthen the core skills that is necessary for Effective Allyship. Each week we focus on one of the stages of Effective Allyship: Waking up, Cleaning Up, Growing Up, and Showing Up.
This Wednesday we'll be focusing on Waking UP and doing a modified version of Genpo Roshi's Big Mind Method.
You can sign up for the Dojo at the following link!

Be on the lookout for a BackerKit survey this week! I've already put in orders for pins so we'll need your shipping addresses to make sure everything gets to you! You'll also have an opportunity to get more goodies if you missed it the first time around!
