Ross has spent five remarkable decades in activism. She's deprogrammed white supremacists and taught convicted rapists the principles of feminism and it's worked because the power of her message comes from who she is and what she's lived through. * In this episode, Loretta is joined by CIIS Women's Spirituality professor Dr. Alka Arora for a powerful and inspiring conversation about her life's work and her latest book Calling In, a memoir-manifesto-handbook about how to rein in the excesses of cancel culture so we can truly communicate and solve problems together. Loretta discusses how using conversation instead of conflict—by focusing on your shared values over a desire for punishment—is the more strategic choice if you want to make real change. * This episode was recorded during a live online event on April 2nd, 2025.

Thomas and award-winning reproductive justice and human rights leader Loretta J. Ross explore how we can address inequality, oppression, and hate in an atmosphere of political division and fast-paced technological progress. Loretta shares experiences that helped her form more effective strategies to solve social problems collectively and build inclusive movements that fight oppression with love, hope, and community instead of hate, anger, and vengeance. She and Thomas discuss the concept of “Calling In” – an accountability process that focuses on respect, engagement, and equal partnership, and how this is more effective than the adversarial “calling out” that we're used to. Loretta explains how this practice can help social justice movements embrace diversity of thought and stop destructive in-fighting.   Click here to watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:

Loretta J. Ross's particular approach to deciding when, and how, to call someone in helps us to avoid making other people's problem our problem. It gives us a way to effectively be in conversation with people capable of causing harm—instead of trying, and failing, to be in defense of the vulnerable. Ross shares what she's learned from watching people be manipulated into hating, and from helping them to release that hate. She talks about addressing our own cognitive dissonance; the guilt trip wires we carry internally; and learning to forgive ourselves for not knowing or caring enough. And after everything she's seen and experienced, Ross tells us why she refuses to end her belief in the goodness of people—and she shares her joy with us. For more on Loretta J.

"Call-out culture" - a term coined within the last few years, but a concept that has existed long before. With a society immersed in technology, there are many positives about the seemingly never-ending conversation, but with the increase in connection, there's also an increase in the ability to speak negatively to and about one another. How do we educate others without tearing them down? In a divided world, changing our approach can help create social change. Loretta J. 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.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We're living in a time when collective solutions and open dialogue are needed more than ever, but the rise of call-out and cancel-culture has left many important conversations silent. This week, I welcome the absolutely iconic feminist and activist, Loretta J. Ross. Loretta is flipping the script with her newly coined term, "Call-In Culture," and on today's episode, we learn exactly what that term means and its impact on cancel culture. Loretta is a trailblazer in the reproductive rights movement, and we speak about the major phenomenon she calls "horizontal canceling" and its impact on the effectiveness of movements. Hopefully, this conversation expands your understanding of how we can connect and influence, rather than silence, to create change.  Aviva and Loretta discuss:  The incredibly challenging obstacles Loretta faced growing up, including sexual abuse and an unintended pregnancy at fourteen, and how these experiences led to her work in reproductive rights, becoming one of the first African American women to direct a rape crisis center and coining of the term reproductive justice. How Loretta defines calling-in, her take on why people tend to go after more vulnerable targets, and the impacts of fierce individualism on community well-bering How calling-out is showing up in the reproductive rights movement, the risks of horizontal canceling, and what we can do about it   The meanings of the "woking dead" and “circles of influence” and the impacts both have on our culture   Loretta J. Ross is a fierce and formidable women's health rights activist for over four decades now and co-coined the term reproductive justice. She currently teaches courses on white supremacy, human rights, and calling in the calling out culture at Smith College's Program for the Study of Women and Gender. Loretta was the National Coordinator of the SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective and the National Co-Director of the 2004 March for Women's Lives in Washington, D.C., the largest protest march in U.S. history at that time. She founded the National Center for Human Rights Education and launched the Women of Color Program for the National Organization for Women. She has co-written 3 books on reproductive justice and has a forthcoming book called Calling In the Calling Out Culture.    Find out more about Loretta and sign up for her courses at lorettajross.com.    Thank you so much for taking the time to tune in to your body, yourself, and this podcast!

This week on the show Andy's chatting to Daniel Tomlinson-Gray who co-founded LGBTed, the movement that strives for the better representation of LGBTQ+ within the education system Daniel is a media teacher, and in 2017 he decided to produce a video for an assembly during LGBT history month. During the video, Daniel simply looked into the camera and stated that "as a gay man, I know how important it is to have positive role models." He didn't intend this to be a monumental moment, but it made huge waves in school and in the media, and resulted in the BBC reporting on the assembly. Daniel's movement, LGBTed, has over 6,000 followers on Twitter that all strive for the better representation of LGBTQ+ people within the education system- standing shoulder to shoulder with him. Daniel sums up his own and LGBTed's goal with this slogan, “let's be the role models we needed at school”. Social Change UK are proud supporters of Pride Month.

Mary and Erin respond to the new documentary film “15 Minutes of Shame” from Executive Producer Monica Lewinsky and Director Max Joseph. We watched this excellent new 90-minute film (now streaming on HBO Max) and discuss some of the issues brought to light including public shaming, how shame affects people, call-out vs calling-in with love, and how to heal shame through... forgiveness.     Here's the poem Mary shares: “He drew a circle that shut me out - Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout. But love and I had the wit to win: We drew a circle and took him in!” ― Edwin Markham,  "Outwitted"  Mary Hayes Grieco is a forgiveness coach and the author of Unconditional Forgiveness, A Simple and Proven Method to Forgive Everyone and Everything, published by Simon and Schuster.

In this last gab of the sesh, Christine Stio and I go deeply personal and find cannabis truth in every topic from how it feels when science tickles our fancy to the real world problems of single mothers in the city. You won't be disappointed in the juicy stuff you learn from being a fly on the wall in this conversation. She names names and I'm leaving contact info down below. The power of love is working here. Oh that may sound a little sappy for some of you… but really, feeling loved is so important to one's mental health and emotional health. We all know that, So enjoy this bundle of love comin atcha and as Cinderella used to say, Have Courage and Be Kind. She also wants you to have the advantage of some great links to science information but more than that, she give us links to some leaders in calming your mind and heart. Like Dr. Brian Wise, author of Same Soul, Many Bodies. And it's very important to know a good cannabis attorney like Jacob Zagland in the NY area and Michael Doyle, her cannabis consultant for her brand new start up called Buzzadoo's Canna Delivery Service, named by her son! When discussing how to communicate, she mentioned two more interesting speakers; Mark Eden and Loretta J. Ross who said, “Don't call people OUT! Call them in…” And in today's climate of devision, I really want to learn how to communicate effectively. It's a great series gab between two mothers… and two Women in Weed. Come join us! I met this Woman in Weed through the LinkedIn Platform… she'd found my podcast and heard Dr. Leah Johnson and the rest is history. We have so much in common and her story is so typical of struggling entrepreneurial mothers. But this ganja mama is leading her state. Wait till you hear our continued gab about her autistic son, Aiden, the joy he provides, and the work they're doing to help others.

"Vivimos en la cultura de la denuncia", dice la activista y académica Loretta J. Ross. Quizás tengas familiaridad con ella: culpar y humillar públicamente, sea en redes sociales o en persona, a gente que puede haberse equivocado y a quien se está responsabilizando. En esta charla audaz y que invita a la acción, Ross nos da el kit de herramientas para entablar conversaciones productivas en lugar de luchas --lo que ella llama "cultura de la invitación"-- y comparte estrategias que ayudan a desafiar los errores de los demás a la vez que se crea un espacio para crecer, perdonar y quizás incluso hacer amistades. "Luchar contra el odio debería ser divertido", dice Ross. "No está bien odiar".

Notre culture est celle de la dénonciation, nous dit l'activiste et chercheuse Loretta J. Ross. Nous sommes tous familiers de ce phénomène : humiliation publique et accusation publique, sur les réseaux sociaux ou dans la vie réelle, de personnes qui ont peut-être mal agi et qui sont confrontés à leurs responsabilités. Dans un propos audacieux et directement applicable, Ross nous propose une boîte à outils pour démarrer des conversations productives en lieu et place de combats. Elle appelle cela la culture de l'appel. Elle nous confie des stratégies pour remettre en question les mauvaises actions tout en créant un espace pour grandir, pardonner et peut-être même découvrir une amitié inespérée. « Combattre la haine devrait être amusant », nous dit Ross. « c'est la haine qui craint ! »

사회 운동가이자 학자인 로레타 J. 로스는 우리가 "콜링 아웃", 즉 망신주기 문화의 시대에 살고 있다고 말합니다. 여러분은 아마 SNS와 현실에서의 공개적인 망신주기와 비난에 익숙하실 겁니다. 이는 잘못을 한 사람들을 향해 책임을 지게 만들려는 일이죠. 이 대담하고 실용적인 강연을 통해, 로스는 우리에게 싸움을 피하고 생산적인 대화를 할 수 있는 포용 방법, 일명 "콜링 인 문화"를 알려줍니다. 또한 그녀는 잘못을 피함과 동시에, 성장, 용서, 그리고 어쩌면 뜻밖의 친구를 위한 공간을 만들 전략을 알려줍니다. 그녀는 이런 말을 덧붙입니다. "증오에 맞서 싸우는 건 즐거운 일입니다. 누군가를 증오하는 게 더 구린 일이죠."

We live in a call-out culture, says activist and scholar Loretta J. Ross. You're probably familiar with it: the public shaming and blaming, on social media and in real life, of people who may have done wrong and are being held accountable. In this bold, actionable talk, Ross gives us a toolkit for starting productive conversations instead of fights -- what she calls a "call-in culture" -- and shares strategies that help challenge wrongdoing while still creating space for growth, forgiveness and maybe even an unexpected friend. "Fighting hate should be fun," Ross says. "It's being a hater that sucks."

Nikki’s work focuses on fostering a new generation of leaders looking to leverage their unique power and privilege to lead their lives authentically to make the future a more inclusive place.In this episode, Nikki and I talk about her journey away from corporate America into her new adventure of entrepreneurship. We also talk about her experiences being "other" in a number of situations and how she helps leaders in organizations navigate tricky discussions. Following the interview, my co-host Carmen and I discuss "Cancel Culture" and "Calling In vs. Calling Out". Carmen shares this interesting NYT article about Loretta J. Ross, a professor at Smith College, who teaches a course on the topic.If this is your first time with OTC, check out Season 1 Episode 1: START HERE for more background on the show.Visit www.truecolorscast.com for more show info and join the community on Instagram to continue the conversations!

_Essential._ No, says Jackie DeCarlo, her people aren’t front line nurses and doctors, but they’re nothing if they are not _essential_. DeCarlo serves as CEO of the Manna Food Center in Montgomery County, Maryland and 2020 was a year to test their vision like no other: _Our community is a place where all people at all times have access to safe, sufficient, nutritious food in order to lead fulfilling lives and contribute to making Montgomery County, Maryland a place where all live in dignity._ The pandemic forced a renewed examination of that vision as issues of equity and justice in our national healthcare system put outsized pressure on food distribution. And yet, Manna was already positioned to fill gaps where others struggled. Leveraging their network of government agencies, corporations, nonprofits, schools, medical professionals, employee assistance programs, and faith-based associations, Manna has cultivated a network capable of responding to the most vulnerable in the community, when they are in the greatest need. DeCarlo’s leadership is a model of adaptability. The COVID-19 crisis called on skills beyond those of daily operations. This week on the show, she joins us from the Manna administrative offices in Silver Spring, Maryland, to share the leadership lessons that helped her guide the organization. Hers is the story of family, generosity, and hospitality that is modeled with grace for thousands of families each month—tens of thousands of people in need many times over each year. Manna's actions are ripples felt far beyond their community. _Essential_, indeed. ### **Links & Notes** * [Manna Food Center](https://www.mannafood.org/) * [Manna Mission, Vision, and History](https://www.mannafood.org/about/mission-vision-history/) * Guest Recommendation: [Loretta Ross — Smith College](https://lorettajross.com/) * [Feminist Prof. Loretta J.

FEATURING LORETTA J. ROSS – Republicans in the House of Representatives have been unable as a whole, to disavow the wild, racist, violent, and conspiratorial members of their party—whether it is newly elected QAnon conspiracist Marjorie Taylor Greene, or former President Donald Trump. The appalling state of American politics has once more centered and empowered...

The Sideways Pod team is excited to introduce a new podcast that we helped to launch by one of the most inspiring guests we've interviewed. In our first episode, we had the honor of interviewing Loretta J Ross.  She has launched a new podcast called Dred Feminist with Loretta J. Ross, and we'd like you to check out her first episode that discusses the events that took place at the capitol on January 6th.  We hope you'll follow Dred Feminist with Loretta J. Ross as it launches, and we appreciate Ross for her critical contribution toward ending oppression in all of its forms. (Be advised of the use of explicit language in this episode, which is the only way to adequately convey the emotions tied to these events.)"   

It's not every day you get to interview a woman who has inspired you for decades. In this episode, I had the privilege of speaking with feminist icon Loretta J. Ross, activist, writer, and scholar, and a critical voice who has helped shape many aspects of the Women's Movement and the ongoing struggle for human rights worldwide. Over the course of her career, she has worked to center Black women and girls in conversations about sexual and gender-based violence, sterilization abuse, violent extremism, and reproductive justice (a framework she co-created). Her more recent work focuses on helping activists hone the skills they need to hold each other accountable without undermining their humanity—an approach she refers to as "calling in," an alternative to "calling out." For anyone who needs a beautiful reminder of the benefits of treating each other more gently, this episode is for you. Stuff We Talked About on This Episode https://lorettajross.com (Loretta J.

"Trusting Black Women: Building Sustainable Respect" OUR GUEST:  Loretta J. Ross, Co-founder and the National Coordinator of the SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective from 2005-2012. She has been Creating a Voice for Reproductive and Black WoMENT JUSTICE over 30 years "The concept of Reproductive Justice began to take shape when members of a women of color delegation returned from the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo, Egypt. Shortly after, a group of African American women caucused at the Illinois Pro-Choice Alliance Conference in Chicago. The group became known as Women of African Descent for Reproductive Justice. They decided to devise a strategy to challenge the proposed healthcare reform campaign by the Clinton Administration that did not include guaranteeing access to abortion. Not wanting to use the language of 'choice' because they represented communities with few real choices, they integrated the concepts of reproductive rights, social justice and human rights to launch the term 'Reproductive Justice.'
