I’m in dire need of advice. I feel deep shame and regret. I’ll release a video in relation to the situation with Shallon Lester.
I’ve been doing some reflecting. Shallon was (and still is) a YouTuber I enjoy watching. Before you unfollow, LET ME EXPLAIN. Shallon’s videos on manifestation, vision board, and confidence have been so encouraging.
They were really what I needed at some point in my life and I still go back to watch those videos every now and then. Something isn’t sitting right with me. It feels wrong to promote to “cancel culture”. Shallon is a very talented, smart, vivacious woman.
Of course, she has made mistakes and I am not the one to apologize for her, but I do apologize for contributing to cancel culture. I want to create a platform where I can critique someone’s words without “cancelling” that person.
I feel I have failed in that aspect. We are all humans and are naturally flawed. I hate the idea that people aren’t redeemable. Let us not be too harsh on others and quickly forget our own shortcomings. And I ask of you to extend that forgiveness to Shallon.
