In our everyday lives, we are constantly making judgements and forming opinions on other people based on age. In this podcast, we unpack the roots of these ideas through intergenerational conversation and discussion, diving deep into personal experiences, and becoming comfortable with vulnerability. Run by a teen, we hope to help provide young adults with a safe and conducive outlet to truly discuss their beliefs, while also offering a safe space for adults to do the same—the issue goes both ways.

Because I Said So--S3E10: Sex Trafficking in the United States
Growing up you’ve probably heard a lot about stranger danger and how to prevent kidnapping, but it seems that often times the media conflates kidnapping and sex trafficking as a lot more interconnected than they are. In this episode, I wanted to dive into the origin of human trafficking in the Transatlantic Slave Trade, and how racism forced and continues to force minorities into sex trafficking through emotional manipulation and complex power structures that ultimately make it a lot more nuanced than media tends to show. We’ll also dive into the PBS Frontline documentary that follows a victim of sex trafficking named Kat and the investigation, trauma, and healing process she had to go through as a result of her experience. This one took a lot of time, and I hope you guys will give it a listen!
