TRIGGER WARNING: This episode makes mention of sexual violence and sexual assault. 

Happy New Year ladies, gents, and non-binary folx! For the first episode of the new year, we are continuing our serious on youth community activism. This week's guest is Tiana Thomas, a fourth year student at Carleton University who is working on Carleton's campus to raise awareness to sexual violence and sexual assault specifically proposing a sexual violence prevention program and collaborating to create Expressions of Empowerment which is an art exhibit in honour of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. We dive in more in her work and how she started, how toxic masculinity plays a role into sexual violence, and the importance of aiming to be sustainable in your everyday life.
