Let's Talk About Sexual Harassment
There is a special place in hell for people who prey on kids—especially when coming from the trusted and revered role as a teacher. I have carried guilt and humiliation and regret about the two teachers who sexually harassed me during middle and high school for 30 years. On my latest Facebook Live broadcast I told these stories in an effort to inspire change at home and beyond. Because enough already. Links for things I mentioned during the broadcast (and excellent articles I have read since) are under the video window.
Stuff I mentioned during the livestream
- The Heart’s Silent Evidence series
- Spotlight
- Smash The Patriarchy t-shirt
- AMAZE.org - consent and sexual assault videos
