Michael Kaye, Global Communications Manager at OKCupid and member of the steering committee for the Human Rights Campaign’s Greater New York Chapter, joins us to talk about the growing number of people supporting social justice initiatives (4:18), how OKCupid has joined the Pride Month and Black Lives Matter narratives (10:25), what it’s like working for a brand with core values of advocacy (22:02), how brands need to “put their money where their mouth is” (26:25) and how you can become a better ally (40:16). Michael also reminds us that while we have a lot to celebrate, there is much more to do (49:18). In his words: “Being an ally is a constant process. It doesn’t end when a hashtag stops trending.”Full show notes: https://becomingallies.com/its-not-all-hashtags-and-rainbows/
