Why These Words

“Cancel Culture” is our anti-vibe. These days, many humans are afraid to say anything out of fear of saying the wrong thing. …and that is moving communities of humans everywhere further apart instead of closer together. We believe most humans are imperfect beings who learn through open and honest conversations with others (well, many of us do…deep sigh.) We aim to help those humans find THE WORDS they need to have more meaningful conversations.

Each week, THE WORDS newsletter is curated by a staff of imperfect humans (…who have chosen the wrong words plenty of times.) We found our words through empathetic humans who patiently, curiously, and graciously helped us to understand life through their thoughtful words. Their teachings allow us to get our conversations a little more right and we hope they will do the same for you. Let’s keep learning together.

…Fellow imperfect human,

Summarize the scenario that’s got you tongue-tied and your topic could be featured in an upcoming issue of THE WORDS.
