  • Season 2: Episode 17 The Brave
    Over the past year I've met and been inspired by many brave people; from a high school student interested in a career in STEM to a prison inmate pursing his college degree. I try to be brave in my podcast, but to be brave I must be honest. Unfortunately there have been some who believe my honesty creates an unsafe "space," and therefore they try to silence me. To those people, I will not be silenced. I will continue to be brave and honest because in my heart I know that is whats needed.

  • Season 2: Episode 16 Remember Vanessa
    WARNING WARNING - This episode contains graphic content depicting sexual violence - viewer discretion is STRONGLY advised.
    Inspired by the, "Me Too," movement I take a personal examination of my actions and consider how they may have contributed to our society's rape culture. This is a very personal episode and may not be easy for people (especially victims of sexual assault) to listen through its entirety. With that said, I believe its important to listen to the entire episode before forming an opinion. Thank you.
