SO(U)LED OUT! "The End of Shaming" Monthly Listening Circle, February 27, 2024
Description
It's time to retire the word lazy. Better yet, let us divest in full from the role of shaming in all equity work. Public and private shaming may, for a moment, satisfy an itch to exert superiority (justified or otherwise). But while both good and bad elements exist, the bad far outweighs the good: Does shaming truly lead to healthy, lasting changes of behavior and thought? What happens to us when we are made to be ashamed of our very personhood (or our very organization...)?
From this day forward, we, People of the Free World, shall not be shamed for existing in our bodies, guided by our conscience and ethical frameworks. Nor shall we shame others for the time needed to process, plan, and to heal. So no, no more talk of "lazy", "not up to standard"...Instead, we invite you to gently recover from the hangover known as shame and to blossom forth nurtured, accepted, and seen. That's Equity.
The world is inside out and upside down. Now that virtual living a new norm, we confidently continue to share our monthly Listening Circles far and wide.
The Equity Consortium invites you to mixed company listening circles every 4th Tuesday of the month via Google Meet. It's time to find your new nOrmAL.
Closed Captioning is default. All needs for accommodations shall be met with diligence and care. Please email your needs to [email protected] or include with your registration.
