Last month the Cut published a piece called Canceled at 17, about a teenager who was ostracized after sharing a nude image of his girlfriend without her consent. Survivor and activist Wagatwe Wanjuki  explains why the "cancel culture run amok" framing doesn't help any of us understand sexual violence or rape culture.

Mav Viola was attacked by someone she trusted - her youth pastor. She eventually realized he’d been grooming her (and other girls) for this abuse. Even WORSE, her church community didn’t believe her because apparently ‘someone who is a mostly ok dude that sometimes does terrible things to women’ is good enough! We’re throwing out some Hail Mary’s hoping churches get the hell away from this idea.

In a #disspod first, Wagatwe and Irna respond directly to people who had a problem with their love and adoration of Maxine Waters. She, in fact, has not been calling for violence. They unpack a few reactions about the call for civility connect it to the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, who actually abhorred white moderates. Calls for "civility" are telling Black people that enduring violence them is the only form of "proper" resistance. Oh, and we talk about how AFRICA WON THE WORLD CUP!

Wagatwe and Irna reflect on the deaths of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain and what they personally mean to them. They also discuss the big question: What *does* helping someone in need look like?

Irna and Wagatwe share from their experiences in how much America is failing to provide robust access to care.
