Smile: The Performance of Acceptability

from Can I Have a Word? | Culture, Identity & the Power of Language

We all have insecurities but some of us may not be aware of them or how deep they actually run. And while it’s important to acknowledge our insecurities, we should work to overcome them in a way that doesn’t unfairly impact other people. So, what do you do if you are made to feel less than simply because of something you can’t consciously control? In this short episode, we explore the importance of calling out behavior that is rooted in insecurity and fear while standing up for our right to exist without judgment.Production Team Host/Creator - Carl James Lead Engineer - Josh Wilcox Technical Producer - Adam Goins Logo Design - Stephanie Cardenas Music - Yennaedo Balloo Hosted on Acast.
