Influencing the Influencers – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Recently, Lizzo fans went to listen to her new song "Grrrls" and within seconds they were hearing her use a slur that has historically - and is still currently - used against folks with cerebral palsy and other conditions that cause uncontrollable sudden movement.

The reactions were mighty and many fell back into the defensive and called for the de-platforming of Lizzo. Meanwhile, others -  mostly Black, Indigenous, People of Color, took a new route, and called this comrade in for education and an opportunity to make amends. 

In this episode I break down these two reactions, and analyze when and why it is necessary to employ call - in practices instead of call out, when address harm caused by someone.
