Ep.26 "I Am Vanessa Guillen"

07/21/20 • 45 min

In episode 26 of CC, we wanted to highlight and bring to light the recent case of Vanessa Guillen. Vanessa hit home for a lot of reasons and we saw ourselves (and many others) in her story and thought it was important to bring up the topic of sexual harassment. We dove deep into the details of her case, sexual assault/sexual harassment in the military specifically, as well as in society. There is a link in our linktree to Vanessa’s gofundme and the petition to sign for the #iamvanessagullien bill, please check them out! (*trigger warning: we do talk about assault, murder, r*pe and various other serious topics*)
