085: Unpacking Cancel Culture & the Nuance of Being Human with Michael Nelder

Welcome back to the Speaking Our Minds Podcast with Brittney and Ranela! In this episode, we're talking all about Unpacking Cancel Culture with our friend Michael Nelder, including:

• What is cancel culture and how has it come to rise in our society today- especially with the role of social media?
• The nuance of cancel culture - including the pros and cons.
• Some key distinctions that differentiate between cancel culture and genuine activism, accountability, or advocacy for social change.
• Recent examples of cancel culture in the world and in the church.
• The importance of storytelling and practical ways we can foster a culture of empathy and open dialogue in the age of cancel culture.

Mr. Michael Nelder is a poet, an author, a podcaster, an entrepreneur, a speaker, and a coach. He founded and coined, a new artistic medium, [which he calls] Deep Word Poetry, a unique poetic medium that combines the creative expressiveness of Modern Poetry, the linguistic impact of Spoken Word, and the sobering wisdom of Stoic Philosophy.

Michael also co-founded LikeU cards with a mission to create a platform that addresses cancel culture and bullying by fostering a community rooted in empathy, understanding, and shared experiences. In today's climate of opinions and divisiveness, he believes in bringing people together through storytelling and conversation to show them their similarities and draw them closer to one another.
