In the Wake - Podcasters for Justice - Black Lives Matter

Podcasters for Justice - Black Lives Matter

06/10/20 • 3 min

We are podcasters united to condemn the tragic murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and many many others at the hands of police. This is a continuation of the systemic racism pervasive in our country since its inception, and we are committed to standing against racism in all its forms.

We believe that to be silent is to be complicit.

We believe that Black lives matter.

We believe that Black lives are more important than property.

We believe that we have a responsibility to use our platforms to speak out against this injustice whenever and wherever we are witnesses to it.

In creating digital media we have built audiences that return week after week to hear our voices, and we will use our voices to speak against anti-blackness and police brutality, and we encourage our audiences to be educated, engaged, and to take action.

Advocating for Survivors of Domestic Violence with Ty Newport

***Trigger Warning***
This is a heavier episode as we speak of domestic violence and abuse. If you are suffering or recovering from a mood or mental disorder and/or are a victim of sexual assault and abuse, please listen with caution or skip this episode. The last thing I would want is for hearing these things to set you back in your healing journey or to trigger negative thoughts or emotions. Also, if you are a bit more sensitive or an empath, you also may want to listen with caution.

I met Ty through SafeNest -- an organization, shelter, and place of safety and support for survivors and victims of domestic violence. We were both going through the training to become a volunteer through the organization.
In this week's episode, Ty shares his experiences growing up witnessing his grandma be abused by his grandpa. We then discuss factors, warnings signs, myths, and advocacy for abuse victims. Tune in to hear his whole story!
