Another of Bill Cosby's accusers, Lili Bernard, has filed suit, accusing him of drugging and raping her. Nicole Weisensee Egan, author of the book CHASING COSBY, covered both of Cosby's trials, and talks with John and Don about Lili and his other victims, the twisted logic of Cosby's release from prison and the bad precedent it sets.
Few artists reveal themselves or the tensions of the world in as visceral and compelling ways as Lili Bernard. The actor, artist and advocate draws on her family history, historical constructs and current events to deliver challenges to power, hold abusers accountable, and shine a bright and optimistic light on the resilience of survivors of every shape and form. In this far-ranging conversation, we touch on the power of art to heal, her own experiences as a Cosby survivor, why advocacy matters now more than ever, as well as the rewards and challenges of stepping forward.
We chased the folks who chased Cosby. Producer Alexadra Zaslow's podcast Chasing Cosby illuminates the heart wrenching and infuriating truth behind Cosby's decades of systematically grooming, drugging, raping and silencing women. Cosby survivor and thriver, Lili Bernard joins us with her harrowing insights.
Lili Bernard is an award-winning exhibiting fine artist, actor, published writer, educator, community organizer, public speaker and founder of BAILA: Black Artists in Los Angeles. A Cosby survivor-turned public-figure antirape activist. She really explains how terrifying and real PTSD can be. I am moved by her candor, and completely inspired by her resilience. She left me wanting to change the world and make art. She breaks down the different reasons a victim might stay in touch with their abuser, and reveals how difficult it is when your Abuser is your mentor.

Tonight Join The Gist of Freedom as we talk to Maroon Scholar Hoshaiah Khalil about the World Premiere of the film Queen Nanny - Monday, October 19, 2015 At The United Nations, New York City http://bit.ly/RSVP_QueenNanny Carlota Lukumí… Carlota and another enslaved woman named Fermina led an organized rebellion at the Triumvarato sugar plantation. Carlota was kidnapped from her Yoruba tribe, brought in chains to Cuba as a child and forced into slavery in the city of Matanzas, working to harvest and process sugar cane under the most brutal of conditions. She was bright, musical, determined and clever. Fermina was locked up after her plans for the rebellion were discovered. Using talking drums to secretly communicate, Carlota and her fellow warriors freed Fermina and dozens of others, and went on to wage a well-organized armed uprising against at least five brutal slave plantation operations in the area. Carlota's brave battle went on for one year before she was captured.
