Part 2 of the Surviving Patriarchy series. Today, I wanted to take my listeners deeper into the problem; in this episode, I will explain patriarchy, and how this system has harshly affected female human beings.

| SEASON 2 | Surviving Patriarchy; Episode 1 ~ ME TOO. In light of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, I stand in solidarity with every survivor as I, myself am a survivor of sexual assault as well. We are unbreakable, and we have made it through patriarchy, a male dominated society that has no regards for our rights and safety. I demand change. Tune in to stand with me. Self reflect and ask yourself, “Am I apart of the problem?” I will break down consent, the definition of sexual assault, sexual coercion, and what it means to be a sexual predator. I will also share some personal experiences that I am currently healing from. It’s okay to not be okay. Healing doesn’t come easy, but it’s more likely when you have people to heal with you. Let me know if you see a pattern. My inbox is open to all who want to ask me questions or share their stories with me. Send me your healing art and poems. Peace ✌

Radical Love

Radical love is the act of rebelliously loving someone through thick and thin. It becomes rebellious love when there are people who don’t want to see you together; when there are people that claim that your love is bad or toxic. Radical love is making the decision to love someone with your whole heart unconditionally. Enjoy this collaborative episode on love, and how my partner and I are radically in love. We encourage everyone who tunes in to genuinely embrace love with an open heart and mind. But before you can love someone else, choose to love yourself even more. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
