Examine two powerful organizations - Boy Scouts of America ( BSA)  and USA Gymnastics - on the world stage each are power houses, financial organizations, and recognized worldwide 

Yet, each held a dark silent secret - sexual predator(s) that preyed on young boys and girls for generations 

The BSA demonstrates the intersection of power, race, gender, and finance. It talks about the role of powerful legal teams seeking men who were sexually violated as Boy Scouts in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970, during the time when Boy Scouts was primarily white.  Compared that to a black young man I worked with who says in this country folks are more concerned about dogs locked in cages than boys who look like him

The first time a young girl reported Dr Larry Nassar sexually violated her was 1997 but it took until 2015 for Michigan State to quietly release him.  He is now locked up and we can celebrate Judge Rosemarie Aquilina and all the young women who stood up and spoke out

This man sexually violated hundreds of girls but the machinery of the USA Gymnastics, Olympics, Michigan State and the training camps, and trainers ignored what was happening.  They chose to remain silent  why - these small powerful titans generated dollars and future clients 

The young women were viewed as Revenue Producing Units ( RPUs) but folks in power failed to understand they knew their value and power
The young women did the unthinkable, some said NO to the financial payments 
They are using their power their voices to demand accountability
