*Stemming out of the Someone Like Me mentoring program, we developed Better Ally with a goal to empower trainees at Stanford with the skills and knowledge to have brave conversations for effective allyship to members of marginalized groups. In the current iteration, we will focus on one marginalized group per month and have a structured conversation around a specific context.
