In this episode Jessy and Rebekah speak with Title IX expert and author of the newly published memoir, Consent: A Memoir of Unwanted Attention. This book is all about Donna’s experience being stalked by her professor/advisor in graduate school – something that seriously impacted her experience, her well-being and her career post-graduation. In this conversation, we delve into her book, her career and how difficult and weighted it is for women to come forward and report abuse when the person abusing her has so much sway over her future. It is so complicated. But even through the heaviness and the complications rest assured we still found time to laugh! 00:30: Friends! We are really excited about our partnership with glow.fm.

Emma Sulkowicz was the Columbia University student who produced a piece of performance art called “Mattress Performance (Carry That Weight)” which involved them carrying a 50lb mattress on campus to express the burden that rape victims are forced to carry with them. 35:30: Here is a link to Michelle Obama’s speech after the Access Hollywood tape was released.
