Today’s episode is with Sarah Beaulieu. Sarah is a nationally-sought after speaker and author who trains workplaces and advises leaders on skills-based sexual harassment prevention and response. Her work and expertise has been featured in the Harvard Business Review, Fox News, AskMen.com, and the Huffington post, to name a few. She’s been a featured speaker at TEDxBeacon Street and the Business Innovation Factory Summit. She has trained a wide variety of organizations ranging from start-ups to large corporations to fraternities to members of the Junior League. Sarah graduated from Brown University, majoring in women’s studies and religious studies and then went on to receive an M.B.A. at Boston College. She served for five years on the board of the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center, one of the nation’s oldest rape crisis centers, where she started as a medical advocate and survivor speaker. In 2013, Beaulieu founded The Enliven Project, a campaign to generate a culture change in sexual violence and lift survivors to their full potential. The graphic she created and released through The Enliven Project called “Truth About False Accusation,” generated international discussion and debate, and has been re-blogged over 800,000 times. In 2017, Sarah founded The Uncomfortable Conversation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to normalizing conversations about sexual violence, especially for young men. The Uncomfortable Conversation has produced over 100 YouTube videos illustrating how men can support survivors, navigate consent, and address troubling ideas or behaviors among peers. Sarah’s book, which will be released early next year, called Breaking the Silence Habit: A Practical Guide to Uncomfortable Conversations in the #MeToo Workplace, offers employees and managers a path forward to learn and teach the skills required for safe and respectful workplaces for people of all genders. In this conversation, Sarah and I discuss these practical steps for creating the ideal workplace environment. She shared with me a bit about the journey that has shaped her passion for generating this change. We discussed her perspective on “false accusations,” and why sexual assault training doesn’t work for many organizations. We take a stab at addressing the true root causes of sexual violence and mistreatment in our discussion about power and privilege. We talked about the difference between “skills and rules” and why that’s so important to delineate. We also chat a bit about our experiences at our CrossFit gym, which is where Sarah and I originally met. I learned so, so much from this conversation and I have no doubt, regardless of the experiences and knowledge you may or may not have on this subject, you will learn something valuable as well. To learn more about Sarah’s work or consulting, you can find her at sarahbeaulieu.me and you can pre-order her book on amazon, which will be released in February. If you’re a survivor and need to take action, Sarah has referenced the National sexual assault hotline 1-800-656-4673 or rainn.org as a resource that may be a helpful next step.

Bill Cummings and his wife Joyce move philanthropy through the Cummings Foundation, one of the largest charitable foundations in New England. The foundation has given away more than $200 million in the Greater Boston area and also manages several subsidiaries, including the nonprofit New Horizons retirement communities. The couple are Giving Pledge signatories. Bill Cummings graduated from Tufts University. In the 1960s, Cummings paid $10,000 for his first business, a company that supplied fruit punch to colleges and health care institutions, and eventually sold it for more than $1 million. He was the publisher of several community newspapers. Cummings went on to create Cummings Properties in Woburn, Massachusetts, outside Boston. That commercial real estate business, which began in 1970 with one small building, now boasts 11 million square feet in nearly a dozen communities north and west of Boston. Nearly all the buildings managed by Cummings Properties are owned by and operated for the benefit of the Cummings Foundation, which Bill and Joyce Cummings established in 1986. When the couple established the foundation, they pledged to give 10 percent of their income each year to it. Over time, however, they committed most of the family's commercial real estate holdings to the foundation. With nearly $2 billion in assets, it's now one of the largest foundations in New England. The foundation has a strong focus on Greater Boston and about a dozen communities north or west of the city. Grants go to charities aiding the community through education, healthcare, human services, and social justice programs.Grantees include Brazilian Worker Center, Artists for Humanity, Boston Shakespeare Project, Boston Area Rape Crisis Center, The Children’s Center of Methuen, Boys and Girls Clubs of Dorchester, Catholic Charities of Boston, and Winchester Music School. Cummings has been a major donor to his alma mater Tufts University, home to the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine. The foundation runs several subsidiary programs. The Institute for World Justice supports the "post-genocide recovery and rebuilding of Rwanda," and uses "education to help prevent future genocides and other intercultural violence and injustices there and elsewhere." The foundation also developed New Horizons retirement communities in Massachusetts. Cummings is in his 80s and his giving is going strong. Through the years, the foundation's circle of leadership has broadened beyond family members and now two-thirds of the foundation's trustees come from outside the family or business. Look for even more community involvement down the line.

Chairman Mao famously proclaimed that “women hold up half the sky,” and there are many ways in which women’s status, rights, and opportunities have improved under CCP rule.  That said, patriarchal ideas about the role of women have continued to find robust expression in China, in different and evolving ways, since 1949 and through the reform & opening period.  In this episode, Brown University sociologist Yun Zhou discusses with Neysun Mahboubi the landscape of gender inequality in China, with special attention to the implications of the one-child policy and its repeal, as well as the Chinese #MeToo movement and feminist advocacy more generally.  The episode was recorded on November 5, 2018. Yun Zhou received her PhD in Sociology from Harvard University.  She is currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Brown University’s Population Studies and Training Center.  Her research examines social inequality through the lens of gender, marriage, family, and reproduction.  Her most recent work on China’s universal two-child policy, “The Dual Demands: Gender Equity and Fertility Intentions after the One-Child Policy,” was just published in the Journal of Contemporary China.  Dr. Zhou also writes extensively for popular audiences on the topics of gender inequality, sexual violence, and reproductive rights in China.  Her work has been featured in Tengxun Dajia, Pengpai, Renwu, The South China Morning Post, and Boston Metro, among other outlets.  She has also served as a volunteer with the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center since 2016.  You can follow her at @yunjulietzhou.

The challenge we face: The world of nonprofit fundraising is a place where uncomfortable realities surrounding sexual harassment and sexual violence need to be addressed. According to The Chronicle of Philanthropy, 1 in 4 women in nonprofit fundraising have experienced sexual harassment and 1 in 14 men have experienced sexual harassment. The complexity of these realities can be illustrated by the fact that two-thirds of these incidents are committed by donors, one-third are committed by staff and of the incidents reported 35% are committed by board members. In a world where the #MeToo movement has empowered people to speak about sexual harassment and violence more openly, Sarah Beaulieu discusses our need to make our workplaces safer for our employees and volunteers by engaging in conversations to be proactively protective and supportive to ensure that everyone entrusted to our organizations knows that their safety is our most important priority in fulfilling our missions.   In this episode we’ll discuss: How preventing sexual violence begins with having uncomfortable conversations. The effect the #MeToo has had in nonprofit fundraising How to change from an unsatisfying culture for your staff to a culture of safety and respect Scenarios in which your team members might find themselves and how to prepare for them. Steps you can take when someone comes to you with a report of sexual harassment or assault Where to find sample organizational policies relating to sexual harassment and violence Transparency about reporting and how confidentiality is handled. Five key ideas for framing before you train: know the facts, accept that conversations will be uncomfortable, see the whole picture, embrace the practical questions, get curious, not furious Who should intervene if a donor is harassing a fundraiser? The power of media if board members and organizations aren’t responsive to a fundraiser’s claim of sexual violence or a culture of ignorance How to shift power dynamics in concerning situations through bystander interventions What to do when you find yourself questioning your own behavior and if you have crossed a line? How to handle tough circumstances around resolving harassment issues that might impact the success of someone’s career. How to address issues with donors and/or board members who are committing sexual harassment.   How you can make your voice heard!   There will be two discussions in the Philanthropy Podcast Facebook group this week. The questions we’re asking are: What have you seen work well in a place where you worked for ensuring that your employees and volunteers knew that the workplace was safe, that harassment wasn’t welcome, or that you had their full support? What was the nugget of gold you heard in this conversation or that you realized while you were listening to our conversation with Sarah?   You can join our Philanthropy Podcast Facebook Group to share ideas, get advice, and simply enjoy the company of other listeners.   Learn more about this episode’s guest, Sarah Beaulieu: Sarah Beaulieu is an expert at engaging people in productive and meaningful conversations about sexual harassment and violence and founder of The Uncomfortable Conversation, a nonprofit that produces short-form videos that normalize conversations about consent, healthy relationships, advocacy and supporting survivors of sexual violence.Her 2016 TEDxBeaconStreet talk summarized five years of intensive research and over 100 interviews with men on sexual violence and harassment.

Sexual assault is widespread in prison. And sometimes it may feel like nobody cares. But our guest, Dave Rini, runs a collaboration between the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center and the Massachusetts Department of Corrections. He tells us what is happening to people behind bars and what we can do to improve our response to trauma in prison.

We've all heard of it, but what exactly is trauma? How does it impact the brain? What the signs and symptoms? And, how it can be treated? Our guests are Megan Ross, the Director of Program Development and Trauma Awareness at Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center, and Gayle Jaffe from the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center.
