Please check trigger warnings before listening to this episode (listed towards the bottom of the description). Shoutout to the realest Kimiya Factory (@kimiyah__denise) & Taylor Waits (@taywaits) for putting together Change Rape Culture (@chngerpeclture) and for believing survivors like us to feel empowered in speaking their truths and breaking this thing we call a patriarchy.
