In this episode of Aspire: The I Have the Right To Podcast, co-hosts Katie M. Shipp and Susan Prout are joined by Chessy Prout, a survivor, author, advocate, and filmmaker. Together, they discuss Chessy's journey as a survivor of sexual assault at St. Paul's School, her decision to share her story publicly, and the powerful role of community in her healing process. 

Chessy opens up about the emotional challenges she faced after the assault, the strength she found in speaking out, and how her book, I Have the Right To: A High School Survivor’s Story of Sexual Assault, Justice, and Hope, has connected her with other survivors. Susan shares her perspective as a mother supporting her daughter through this journey. This episode is a deep, moving conversation about empowerment, the importance of survivor voices, and the ongoing fight for justice and accountability in the fight against sexual assault.
