“I love the compassionate sentiment that is weaved through this book that being an ally doesn’t mean you have to be perfect; it means being able to acknowledge when a mistake is made and then trying your best to be better. If you truly want to be an ally, The Savvy Ally will lead the way through real-life examples, questions that make you go hmmm …, and ‘what if’ scenarios. Thank you, Jeannie Gainsburg, for supporting my ally journey!”— Kimberly Braithwaite, senior human resource manager, Barilla America Inc., and one of Profiles in Diversity Journal’s 2019 Women Worth Watching

“The Savvy Ally provides a successful foray into the confusing and ever-changing world of being an ally to the LGBTQ+ community. The thoughtful definitions, various analogies, and personal examples used to clarify issues are always helpful and often brilliant. Clearly, Gainsburg’s many years of ‘operating in solidarity with’ the LGBTQ+ community have provided her with the necessary insight to create such a useful tool. I am grateful for such a perceptive and kindhearted book!”— Matthew Burns, dean of students, University of Rochester

Searles Jr., corporate diversity relations director, Excellus BlueCross BlueShield

“The Savvy Ally is a book I will recommend again and again for its thoughtful approach to gaining knowledge, skill, and confidence. It’s a much-needed tool in our box!”— Kelly Clark, director, Q Center, Binghamton University
