23. Finding the Right Words with Vilna Bashi

This week Johanna and Erica welcome survivor guest Vilna Bashi to share her stories. They discuss the inadequate, or, as Vilna puts it, the “horrible and stupid-ass” terms used to describe acts of sexual violence.  Later, Vilna helps us dive into visioning a world where all people can walk safely and proudly, with their chests held high. Join us by dunking your feet in some water while we honor Vilna’s story.

[Content Warning]: This is a podcast where survivors share stories of sexual assault, sexual violence, and r*pe. 

Survivor Vilna Bashi is (in no particular order) a professor, sociologist, slooow writer, painter, Mama, gluten free baker, seamstress, nerd.
