Sexual and emotional harm isn’t always distant or abstract — it often happens close to home, involving people we know and care about.
In this episode, Host Anthony Stefanos is joined by Georgia Grace, Matty Mills, and Zahra Al Hilaly for a raw and compassionate conversation about what it looks like when harm happens within our circles.
Together, they explore the realities of supporting a friend coming to terms with an experience, navigating the shock of someone you love being accused of harm, and reflecting on your own actions. They unpack how to show up for others, seek support as a victim-survivor, and what true accountability looks like in our communities.
This is a deeply human conversation about care, responsibility, and finding a way forward when the people involved are close to us.
Featuring: Georgia Grace (@gspot), Matty Mills (@itsmattymills), Zahra Al Hilaly (@zahuhra).
