Jessica Krug Belives in Cancel Culture and She Doesn't Anticipate Anyone To Forgive Her.
She's previously considered coming forward, but never found the strength. "I am a coward," she writes and then repeats it. "You should certainly cancel me, and that I cancel myself." Krug wants to take responsibility for what she has done and composed that this should lead to her being canceled.
She continued,"I must absolutely be pinpointed. No. I really don't write in the passive voice, ever, because I think we must name power. So. You need to certainly cancel me, and I cancel myself"
In terms of the next steps, she's lost,"I don't understand how to fix this," she goes on. "I really don't understand what to build out of here. I don't know that it is possible to fix one relationship I have with another person, living or deceased, and that I do not believe I deserve the kindness or grace to do so."
"I'd never ask for nor expect mediation. I long to repair my relationships on all those terms those that I've hurt need, but only those whom I've hurt can decide if they're willing."
But, George Washington University has yet to affirm Krug's individuality, but her faculty page lists her as a specialist in African American history and Latin America.
