Melanie Ho has spent many years advising organizations about diversity, equity, and inclusion, and oftentimes uses art and comics to convey difficult topics. In part one of Radio Advisory's _Allyship in Action_ series, Advisory Board digital health expert (and ally) John League talks with Melanie about her approach to having difficult conversations with leaders and teams, "mental auto-completes", and steps to turn allyship intentions into actions.
