    Radical accountability is an action that requires true recognition and ownership of our behaviour and its impact. It's about acknowledging our capacity to cause harm without defensiveness and committing to learning and changed behaviour. At its core, it’s about honesty, care, integrity and building trust in our relationships and communities.In this bonus episode: hosts Meggan Baker and Bryony Ball talk to Si Janes, a previous attendee of SLEEC's Radical Accountability In Action Course to explore and discuss what his thoughts were going into the sessions, what he took away and actioned from the learning and the necessity of accountability in these uncertain times.Recorded during a live stream and with a special shoutout to guest Lee who's WiF was fucked, causing him to miss the chat.To learn more about the Radical Accountability in Action course and how to sign up, head to our website: https://sleec.net/radical-accountability-in-action/Follow SLEEC on instagram @sleec_pro Content warning: We are having conversations about male violence, sexual violence and struggles under oppressive and violent systems.
