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--S3E7: Rape Culture and Victim Blaming: The Dark Side of Greek Life
It’s likely that you’ve heard about sexual assault or rape in college. The problem is treated by several universities as a norm to adjust to, not a problem to solve. When Sarah Mehany saw this problem being swept under the rug at her university, she decided she no longer wanted to be quiet. Especially in circles of Greek Life, we see a culture of secrecy and brotherhood formed that can help to create environments where these issues aren’t addressed, and in some cases allowed to propagate. The differences in expectations between those identifying as men and women on these campuses tends to put this burden on women to “protect themselves,” a statement we’ve seen raise red flags in recent years. This episode is so crucial, and I’m excited for you all to listen. Sarah also gives tips for those who want to make a difference in their own communities, and I hope you’ll take that message to heart.
