Beyond the Self with Africa Brooke #030 - Why cancel culture thrives on you being a terrible communicator (let's talk solutions!)
In this episode (originally recorded LIVE on IG), I covered: are you a more passive-aggressive communicator than you think?, why ASSERTIVE COMMUNICATORS are needed now more than ever, why communication is a missing piece in the cancel culture conversation, why labelling everything as self-censorship isn’t helpful, how to know when you’re self-censoring vs using your social filter (good thing)…
…why risking peoples perception of you has to become non-negotiable, what happens when people start to behave exactly like those they claim to oppose…
…why a solutions focused approach to our collective disconnect is the way forward, why sharing online shouldn’t be the main point of undoing self-censorship, the gifts of being misunderstood…
& SO MUCH MORE.
