Ep105: How to Have Productive Conversations About Harm and Injustice
Have you ever felt torn between speaking up and staying silent, especially when someone says or does something harmful? In today’s episode of Daring DVM, we’re exploring a transformative alternative to cancel culture that invites accountability without dehumanization. I’m diving into a conversation inspired by Loretta Ross, a longtime activist and educator, who teaches us how to "call in" instead of "call out."
Calling in is about holding people accountable with love, grace, and empathy, without turning to shame or public humiliation. It’s about believing in the possibility of growth, even in challenging conversations. Whether you’re navigating conflict at work, with family, or on social media, this episode offers a more compassionate roadmap for real change.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
The difference between calling out and calling in—and when each might be appropriate
How calling in can transform conflict into connection and growth
The power of radical empathy, even in the face of hate or ignorance
Why public shaming often backfires—and what to do instead
Practical tools and scripts you can use to engage in courageous, respectful conversations
How to lead with values, ask better questions, and affirm shared humanity—even when it’s uncomfortable
Whether you’re a leader, an ally, a friend, or simply someone trying to improve your community, this episode will give you the tools to speak up with strength and compassion. Let’s explore how to be change-makers without burning bridges.
