Welcome back, Survivors! In this surprisingly chill and only slightly triggering episode of STG we talk with our pal Brandi about her experience at an eighteen day occupation of a street in front of a Minneaopolis police station, how life is better when you’ve got friends with you, and we may even convince her to play a song for us, who knows? You’ll have to listen to find out!
Trigger Warning: child abuse, sex abuse, rape, police brutality, gun violence
In this episode, we are delighted to welcome Jay, our very first survivor guest! Tune in as the three of us take a hard look at the allies and false allies of the #MeToo movement and Jay shares his experiences with emotional abuse growing up in a fundamentalist Christian household. Special thanks to Jay for joining us on the podcast!
This episode is only 6 minutes long and a week late due to technical difficulties (we got new mics! it’s a journey) but ON THE OTHER HAND we have not one but TWO interview episodes coming down the pipeline!
News & Updates!
Cosby found guilty on all counts of aggravated sexual assault in retrial! Go Andrea Constand!
The Golden State Killer found and caught at last! Go Michelle McNamara! And the police who got him I guess?
Personal Note:
FEATURED SURVIVOR: Patrick Stewart!
His father beat his mother all through his childhood and he’s been an activist campaigning against domestic violence for a million years! Patrick Stewart! Captain Picard! Sir Patrick! It doesn’t take two to make a fight! Violence is an unacceptable way to deal with conflict! Mrs Dixon, the only person who ever stood up to his father! Look up Refuge, the UK-based domestic violence charity Patrick Stewart supports! Listen to Oliver ramble disjointedly and utterly fail to do a Patrick Stewart impression!
We forgot to do our outro so I’ll do it here:
There’s a war going on.
And in the immortal words of Audre Lorde, “Your silence will not protect you.”
A hairdresser survives sexual assault by Missouri governor Eric Greitens, Andrea Constand testifies against Bill Cosby in re-trial, and Junot Diaz discloses his experiences with childhood sexual abuse in a powerful essay in the New Yorker.
