This week, we're talking about Voice: what it is, why it matters, and what it looks like from a couple different perspectives. A few things we talk about in Episode 1:

• Being a teenager can be awkward and facing your fear can be life changing
• When you disagree with others, approaching them with empathy goes a long way
• Rates of reporting sexual assault vs disclosure rates of sexual assault vary greatly
• Despite the pervasiveness of sexual assault across the US, it has become a more widely studied topic that has aided researchers and law enforcement alike in creating new ways of measuring current statistical data

Favorite guest quotes:

"I have learned that responding with compassion, and approaching situations with curiosity and then some education can go a long way. I'm more empowered when I can respond like that instead of in anger."

- Camille

"That disconnect that comes from the letter of law and our cultural ideas of what constitute sexual assault… so you know, if it wasn’t a stranger, if you didn’t sustain an injury, you know, that somebody didn’t jump out of the bushes then it does’t actually constitute a “real sexual assault.” And that’s clearly ridiculous."

- Whitney
