Summary
Is the current online accountability discourse a productive, meaningful, and proportional response to systemic injustice? Or is it a punitive expression of a carceral mob mentality? In the second part of this special two-part series, I invited three of my colleagues and advanced certification students - Master Coach Brenda Lomeli, Master Coach Brig Johnson, and Clutch Coach Amber Taylor - to have a nuanced discussion about why so many women fear being “canceled,” how online accountability conversations emerged from restorative justice practices, and why it’s so important to unpack any strong reactions you are having to the concept.

| 0:58.5 | you how to get that. |
| 0:59.5 | I think especially in reference to these episodes, one of the things that I found so |

| 1:26.8 | But one of the things I thought was so fascinating about these conversations is that we are |
