This episode reminds me of a few past episodes, because of August's passion for sexuality and empowerment. For example, if you missed them...Asehli and how she wants to start a sexual revolution, and Drusilla Cowen who's passion is helping people overcome the assault. Both ladies are active with Survivor Alliance!
