Alberto Agudo draws on his journey as a gay Catholic to redefine allyship in spaces where it’s most needed. Through his personal experiences and research, Alberto invites audiences to rethink what it means to stand with others, especially in challenging environments. You will learn three practical steps for becoming an ally who creates real, transformative change— whether in your community, workplace, or faith space—and discover the powerful impact that seemingly simple actions can have. Alberto is a PG at Phillips Academy Andover. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
