Trigger Warning: sexual assault, sexual abuse, rape culture
What should a man's role be in the Me Too Movement? How are we defining consent? What is rape culture?
If you're like us, these are questions you may have been asking yourself the past few years. To get a few answers, we invite Ricky Pulley, the Underserved Survivor Outreach Coordinator at the Sexual Trauma Services of the Midlands in Columbia, SC to chop it up about how rape culture has showed up in our lives, ways we have participated in it, the Black community's response to the Me Too Movement, and what does healthy consent really look like. Tune in now.
