Navigating Allyship in the Wedding Industry
This engaging and reflective workshop is designed to help wedding vendors deepen their understanding of intersectional allyship: the practice of recognizing and affirming the multiple, overlapping identities each client holds. A person may be a combination of multiple identities, and each of these layers shapes how they experience the wedding industry.
Together, we’ll explore:
How intersectionality affects client needs, expectations, and experiences.
The difference between performative inclusion and meaningful, culturally-aware allyship.
Practical ways to shift your language, client communication, marketing, and business practices to better serve and uplift all clients, especially those who are multiply marginalized.
You’ll leave with real tools, thoughtful reflection, and a renewed sense of kuleana (responsibility) to ensure every couple feels seen, safe, and celebrated.
