What does real allyship look like beyond social media posts and kind words? In this episode of Beyond Beautiful, Mandi explores the heart of true allyship — the kind that requires humility, sacrifice, and genuine love. Drawing inspiration from a powerful scene in Crip Camp and from Jesus’ own example of allyship and sacrifice, Mandi unpacks how uplifting marginalized communities often means giving something of ourselves.
Through story and reflection, she shares her own journey of navigating faith and identity — holding both conservative values and inclusive beliefs — and how Mark 12:30–31 continues to guide her: to love God fully and love our neighbors as ourselves.
Tune in to discover how allyship becomes a reflection of divine love — a love that uplifts, empowers, and liberates.
