Social media gaffes are common. Effective and authentic apologies for those miscues are not. But Janelle Monáe recently offered a concise, genuine mea culpa that serves as a good model for any of us.
What's good about this apology?
- It's concise and written in plain language.
- It's truthful and very self-aware.
- It sounds like the other tweets on her timeline, not like some stock come to Jesus for public consumption.
- It attempts to make things even righter by offering information on how to improve access to voting, the topic of her initial problematic tweet.
