I think I’ll need to come back to this book, because it definitely has started a thought process for me but definitely hasn’t finished it. It wasn’t substantial enough for me to get into the nitty gritty nature 🥲 I definitely wanted more!
But it was also very informative and necessary. adrienne maree brown is definitely someone I want to look more into 👏🏼
3.5 out of 5 stars for me. Thank you! ✨

A careful and thought-provoking examination of “cancelling” people in movement spaces, especially through social media. brown’s approach is kind, rational, and empathetic.
If we are abolitionists, we can’t cancel us. Restore balance through mediation and learning, not punishment and/or exile.

I'm reading this in anticipation of a discussion that will take place soon. I definitely have my own opinions on cancel culture. I feel like this book didn't offer much information that was new to me, but I appreciate the questions being raised. As others have mentioned, I feel like it's very easy to agree with certain points in this book because they are described in the abstract, but anyone reading this is going to try to fit this framework into specific examples that they have experienced or witnessed, and it just might not fit. I will need to sit with this, I think.
