Accountability has become almost a buzz-word in contemporary social movements. What does it mean? How do we work toward it? 4 components of accountability by Mariame Kaba: Apology - you may need to apologize more than once! Remember, apologizing is not about you it is about the person/s you harmed/hurt. Repair - take action! Follow through on what they said they needed from you when you apologized. Restore- Fumbling towards Repair Workbook by Kaba and Shira Hassan to learn about accountability within community and Care Work by Leah Lakshmi to learn about emotional intelligence Changed Behavior - Dont do it again! Sure, but also, build your own support network to ensure you won’t do it again. This is YOUR responsibility.
