Calling In the Call-Out Culture with Loretta J. Ross (168)

Feb 1, 2022

“Call-out culture” – a term coined within the last few years, but a concept that has existed long before.

Ross, an activist, professor, and self-proclaimed “professional feminist” has dedicated years of her life to understanding how and why this culture has evolved. Follow along in her insightful discussion with co-host, Sue Marriott as they explore the intentions behind these actions, the root of the issue, and how to more effectively “call-in” without “calling out” using the “Five C Continuum” process.
