Loving Corrections by Adrienne Maree Brown
New York Times bestselling author adrienne maree brown transcends binary thinking about "accountability" and shares dignified, holistic ways for individuals and communities to address harmful, destructive patterns. This selection of prescient, compassionate essays explores patterns we engage in that are rooted in limited thinking. Through a lens of “loving correction” rather than mere critique, author adrienne maree brown helps us reimagine how to hold ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities accountable by setting clear boundaries, engaging in reflection, and nurturing honest relationships. Loving Corrections  is divided into two sections, with the first portion featuring essays that have not yet appeared in print (such as “A Word for White People” and “Relinquishing the Patriarchy”) and writings on topics like moving from fragility to fortitude, disability, and navigating critique within activist communities. The second section collects the first year of brown's popular monthly column “Murmurations” in  YES!  Magazine.   In these pieces, brown explores accountability—within oneself and community—with depth, inventiveness, and empathy.  Along with allowing us more authentic access to ourselves and to each other, the “corrections” in the book’s title are intended to explore and break identity-based patterns including white supremacy, fragility, patriarchy, and ableism. brown also offers practical guidance on how to apologize and be accountable from our nuanced positions of power, history, and resources.
Building on her previous work—especially  Holding Change  and  We Will Not Cancel Us —brown reminds us how much we need each other. "It is only through relationship that we learn how to be, understand our impact on others and explore small shifts that may yield remarkable collective change," she writes.
