This guest has asked that they remain anonymous. We refer to her as "Lily" throughout the episode. 

While in college in the Midwest, Lily began a long distance relationship with a musician from her home state on the East Coast. Upon returning home early due to the pandemic, relationship red flags became more noticeable and resulted in sexual assault. Lily describes the details leading up to and after the incident, including medical complications that were likely exacerbated by forceful penetrative sex.

Kristina found salvation in the punk community as an escape from her home life. But when she finally met her idol, the singer of a political punk band that helped shape her values, instead of treating her like part of the community, he raped her. Kristina describes the details of that night, how it changed the trajectory of her life and how she interacts with music.

Kristina Sarhadi is a therapist, reiki master, writer and recovering social worker from New York. She uses her experiences growing up in the NY punk scene to inform her trauma-informed therapy practice and seek creative ways to help her community build empowering relationships, stand up to injustices, and create sustainable change with joy and confidence.

Grand Rapids, Michigan musicians Bek Graham and Bridget Nicole Rose join us to discuss A.M.P.T. - or A.rtists & M.usicians P.rogressing T.ogether - a collaborative group and zine. We learn the process of how it all came together and the ways a zine about abuse in the music scene can be an asset to communities far beyond their own.

In their words:

a.rtists & m.usicians p.rogressing t.ogether is an informal, collaborative group of folks who decided that the grand rapids, michigan music and arts scene has had unaddressed issues with abuse for too long. we are small and humble, but we are mighty! even though this topic is a lot to unpack, our goal is to provide some resources and hope to those who are facing a difficult situation. we want this zine to be informative for those looking for support where our music and art community is unfortunately lacking. our work is far from perfect, but we hope it can make an impact.
