In honour of Pride Month we would like to share some tips with you on how to be a (better) ally for those you love. The world is increasingly becoming uncertain with divided opinions and standpoints, with the common denominator being the fact that we all want to fight for what we believe in. How can you fight for what you believe in? Become an ally!
What is an ally? An ally is someone who may not be a member of a community, but supports them. Whether it's to combat; racism, sexism, homophobia and/or the absence of mental wellbeing awareness you can recognise your privilege and use this to empower others.
We encourage you to do more research on your own to properly start your journey as this is an important topic that can change lives.
Go from curious to courageous.
“Unity makes the community!” – The Like Me CIC
“The time is always right, to do something right.” – Martin Luther King JR
Here are 8 suggestions to be a (better) Ally:
Acknowledge & Understand Your Privilege
Educate Yourself With Research
Never Stop Learning
Listen!
Speak Up / Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable
Avoid “Performative Allyship”
Learn From Your Mistakes
Amplify The Voices & Messages Of Those You Support
Show up.

The puzzle pieces of becoming an ally work together to create a better sense of community and reach towards the goal of equality and unity. We can all learn more, so why not?
The main message of these tips is for you to be open for putting yourself out there in order to stand up for what you believe in. Try to be consistent and considerate to those you support and those you do not agree with.
“I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university.” ― Albert Einstein
It’s important to recognise that we can empower and help others without being disrespectful. ” In a gentle way, you can shake the world” – Mahatma Ghandi.
We all have the ability to help others and its our choice if we want to enforce it. Are you an ally?

In this world we can do a lot of damage, without even realising it.
The polar ice caps for example, are melting faster than ever, or the fact that 8 Million tons of plastic enter our oceans every year. As a species we impact everything we touch, but as women, really what is the worst thing we can do?
” – And this is something that we can practice everyday, no matter where we are or what we do – because if we are united, there is no limit to what we can do” – Amal Clooney
I would argue there is a lot of leeway regarding this statement, laws exist for a reason right? As women we have come a long way to collectively stand tall and be proud of ourselves, rising through the cracks of adversity and breaking the barriers of expectation. Therefore, in a way, standing in the way of success and empowerment is the worst thing you can do. Whereas, should recognition be the source of motivation? Of course not! Our passion and diligence drive us no matter the cause and effect.
There is another very known saying…
“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.”
Theodore Roosevelt
What should you take from this? Spring into action! Become your own role model and “Be the change you want to see in the world.” – Ghandi.
We can sit here debating this all day, women should support other women. It costs nothing and community and togetherness is so important as we are always being inspired and enlightened by those around us.
Life is in no way black and white. We must live our lives’ to the fullest by being unapologetically ourselves and shining a light on things you are passionate about, not just other women but for everything you stand for.
The worst thing we can do as women is bring others down and to bring down ourselves. Wasted potential is something we can avoid if we support and empower one another to achieve everyday!
It’s pride month! We would like to give a special shout out to our LGBTQ+ friends, family and supporters to let you know we support you always. You are an inspiration for having the courage to be truly you – continue that courage through pursuing the things you believe in, to pave the way for the next generation of visionaries and trail blazers. We are stronger together.

After finishing my degree in English Literature and creative writing, my mental health took a turn. Forced to move back in with my parents, I struggled to deal with the simple aspects of life; the thought of being a full-blown adult terrified me.
I had relied on the crutches of Uni life for three years, not paying much focus on what I wanted to do in life, but there I was, aged 21- unemployed, dealing with heartbreak and living in an environment I was so eager to leave.

To promote positivity and awareness around the importance of Rising From The Ashes we have shared our advert for the woman like Me Conference which is taking place in June, Saturday the 26th. With Covid affecting mental health across the UK we would like to invite you to the annual The Woman Like Me Conference to hear authentic stories from the heart to inspire, empower, encourage and celebrate women!
Since it is Mental Health Awareness Month we thought it would be detrimental to shine a light on the impact the pandemic has had on women across the world. With many women finding it difficult to empower themselves in general, the pandemic has devastated the mental health rates this past year.
May is the last month of spring… But that’s not the only thing happening this month, it is both Maternal Mental Health Awareness week and Mental Health Awareness Week with the refreshing theme of Nature. Why nature? Well during the pandemic, a time when in-person social interaction is deemed a luxury, nature has always be there for us. So, in a time when people cannot be close, we can be close with nature.
