Lesson Overview

23.35 – Speaking Up for Others Without Taking Over: Advocacy for others means using your voice to amplify, not replace, theirs. Before intervening, ask if help is wanted. Speak facts, not assumptions, and avoid centering yourself. Real allyship listens first, then supports strategically. When you speak for fairness, do so with humility, acknowledging the person’s perspective as primary. Overprotecting can silence the very voice you meant to lift. The goal is partnership, not rescue. True advocacy models courage that inspires collective strength rather than dependency. Respectful defenders change culture by standing beside, not in front of, those they support.
