- Sonya explores the impact of calling out and calling in people who have caused harm. She offers us a third alternative - “calling on”. We often think that discerning someone’s intent is instinctual when it is just not the case. Sonya proposes that those who are the source of suffering, in any given interaction, should bear the responsibility for managing their own change and transformation. Taylor offers "calling on" as a method for naming harm and allowing each of us to carve our own pathway toward ACCOUNTABILITY and RESPONSIBILITY for our education and change.
Award-winning performance poet, activist and educator, Sonya Renee Taylor believes in the power of art to inspire social change and equity. She is the creator of The Body is Not An Apology - a media company promoting self-love and body empowerment. In 2016, she was named Champion of Women’s Health by Planned Parenthood. She spoke on the intersection of LGBTQIAA and Disability issues organised by the Obama White House. Sonya serves on the Board of Directors for Split This Rock and SisterSong, and continues to champion a range of social issues. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
This is a great talk at so many levels, including just common conflict resolution let alone the major political and social issues she is talking about. I am a new fan of this woman!
Thank you for this and thank you for who you are. You are sharing the message.
This was an amazing talk, thank you.
This is Absolutely One Beautiful Woman.
Thank you Sonya, for everything you said!❤❤
Thank you, Sonya. I appreciate your candor and insight. Your presentation is insightful on many levels to build confidence, insight, sensitivity, and resilience.
Ok I agree for once cancel culture is creating bullys
LOVE this omg
Love love love!! 👏
I need those earings
LMAO
I love Ted talks
Thank you for this message. The two are very different things, even when some claim they are the same.
I was expecting this video to make me roll my eyes but I actually liked it quite a bit. I'm all for accountability I just don't think blacklisting should be the punishment for everybody who's ever done or said anything wrong at any point in their lives is all. With the exception of guys like Cosby, Weinstein, or Epstein who were repeatedly doing awful things for a long time I think everybody who shouldn't be in prison for life deserves a chance to make up for wrongs that they've done.
I'm OK with people being punished but so much more good can come out of allowing there to be a path for redemption otherwise why admit when you've done something wrong and seal your fate of being blacklisted?
Love this! The spectrum of accountability 🙌🏽💞🙏🏽 thank you
1 minute in... love her already
Fabulous talk. Thank you.
Yes THIS is the TEDtalk I've been looking for 🙌🏽 BRAIN RESILIENCE 💯✨ We do have info at our fingertips, so we should be able to TRUST each other to be ACCOUNTABLE to live together in the world 💞
I love you Sonya Renee Taylor! Thank you for the gift of you! Palante con Self Radical love!
"Me and my toe have no damn time for that!"
Cancel the Cancel Culture.
Imagine going through life not beliving in altruism...
The amagidila can be over ridden by the prefrontal cortex. Calling on not calling out. Treat don't punish. Compassionate Culture not Cancel Culture. 🤔😉😏
They'll probably cancel her for suggesting this
"As a woman of color, as a person who lives at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities, challenging oppression is an inherently threatening activity."
🥰 a group of victims 😂
Writing when it gets close to a deadline can be an anxious full of sweat experience. Has nothing to do with being called out by someone else and way more to do with the process of critical thinking. The writing process for the best writers among us always involves at least 3 editing of a work sessions no matter how short of a work it is. Has nothing to do with a lack of self-love while it has everything to do with the fear of god when choosing to stand up for ourselves or for someone else too without using violence when doing so. Like when that blind man was leaning on his cane while it was sitting on my toe. Perhaps because I whispered to him in that bus that his cane was hurting my toe so that no one else knew about it it made a good enough first impression when later through only coincidence his son was introducing me to him as his girl friend.
Thank you Sonya Renee Taylor!

Did she Just admitted she violated someone?!
She said her “violation” wasn’t as big as she thought it was. He used a very strong word for a situation that needed to be validated, but probably wasn’t violent like we’d typically use it for
its funny bc with that comment you literally proved her point
Kyle Rittenhouse just started this with the Media Accountability Project.
Get ready....
White. Straight. Awesome.
My wife is a white queen...
McCarthyism is the first and original cancel culture. Conservatives and Republicans invented the cancel culture with McCarthyism in the 1950s, by targeting people whom they deemed as having the incorrect ideologies and thoughts. People literally lost their jobs, families and lives and went to prison when conservatives targeted them and deemed them as “communists” or “socialists”. Conservatives and Republicans made it not permissible to think in certain ways or believe in certain things: it was basically thought control aka the cancel culture. As recent as 2020, ABC News suspended aka cancelled correspondent David Wright when the right-winged Project Veritas exposed him as a socialist, so the McCarthy "cancel culture" on the right is very much still alive after 70+ years.
Conservatives and Republicans are still perpetuating that same cancel culture for 70+ years. Even today they love to throw around the “communist” and “socialist” labels (and even “liberal” as a slur,) still trying to cancel people with the same old tired tactics from the McCarthy era. They are crying and whining now only because the cancel table has finally turned on them. However, they want to pretend McCarthyism has never happened and the McCarthy culture has not persisted until today. They have been dishing out the cancel culture for 70+ years, but they can't take it themselves when other people are finally starting to doing back to them.
There’s a number of flaws I found with this video.
1. “Calling-on” still leads to a mob of people shaming a person and wishing for their career and public demise. No chance for growth nor redemption.
2. Accountability culture leads to fear of ever making mistakes, which leads people to err on the side of caution by silencing themselves and thusly heightening their amygdala - especially people looking to grow and learn. You cannot learn without being willing to make mistakes.
3. She is insinuating that saying something “wrong” is akin to stepping on her toes. False. Words only have power if we give it that power. If we conflate words with physical harm, people are led to respond to words with actual physical violence; which is exactly what we see from “unofficial” groups like antifa.
4. If we want to have a better world, we need to focus more on respect, not “accountability”. If you were bothered by something someone said, and you feel comfortable with talking to them, then tell them. If that person is respectful, they’ll say “my bad, I’ll do my best to keep that in mind”. But in no way is such a confrontation at the same level as actually physically harming them. And in no way should that person be held in contempt like as if they killed someone.
5. People have a right to have a private conversations with specific people where they don’t have to worry about the public somehow evesdropping on their conversation and taking their words out of context. In private conversations, people have the right to be as flippant, off-handed, and politically incorrect as they want, because the specific people they’re speaking to, understand the context and personhood of the speaker. Same thing applies to comedy shows. The context and the audience matter. To claim that all speech private or public should be held accountable to public scrutiny in any context, is to sympathize with mob rule, censorship, privacy breaching, spying, and at worst, centralized spying and authoritarianism.
6. If you refute my arguments with “wElL yOuRe A pRiVlEdGeD wHiTe CiShEt MaLe” I will laugh at you.
Ok so you just massively missed the nuance of the points that she made. She's talking accountability AND respect. She's talking doing the work of loving ourselves so that we DON'T feel attacked when someone needs us to be accountable.
You also contradicted yourself by pointing out the amygdala activation of being held accountable (which she talked about at length), and then dismissing the physical response that it produces. Fight and flight responses are very physical.
I'm responding for my own benefit and don't care if you "laugh" at me. But these nuances are what people miss and continue to act like unloving pricks to themselves and others.
@@ameliavincent1 you massively missed my point, actually. If our first priority is to avoid potentially offending even one person, then people will be discouraged from speaking their mind, and learning will be stagnated. This is a fear-based lifestyle, EVEN IF we love ourselves and not take offence to someone “holding us to account”.
Unless we’re talking about threats, harassment, or defamation; if mere words activate your amygdala, then that’s a you problem. Offensive words are in no way akin to physically harming someone.
These nuances are what people miss and continue to act like unloving pricks to themselves and others.
@@MarioGreco Ok you're clearly very set on missing the point and going in circles lol. Enjoy your life, or don't, I truly don't care.
@@ameliavincent1 I hoped for more from this exchange, what a shame. Enjoy priding yourself in your stagnance; in the meantime I'll keep moving forward and oppose those who stand in the way of my learning. Good day.
Fair points mate 🤙🏽
Head like a robbers dog
Apologies to all the robbers dogs out there
imagine wearing a shirt that said White, Straight, Dope. Lol. This lady is literally insane and has zero touch with reality.
I’m not trolling id like to hear more of what you have to say.
She's trying to get people to be reasonable and have conversations. How exactly is she out of touch with reality?
@@robertacranston8411 she's the definition of critical race theory... There's zero reality that exists in this woman's life. If all you want to do is talk about race you're the problem with the world rn. Lol
@@Mike-rh9zs, OK, white male.
@@Mike-rh9zs critical race theory is a college level law class that talks about how race and racism interacts with law. how is she doing that?
So is she for or against cancel culture
