S2 EP4: Safe Space Interviews: "What if He Wants To Be President?" Pt.2

In Part 2 of this courageous survivor’s story, Mya and K continue to unpack the layers of her journey—exploring the emotions and challenges she faced while seeking justice and finding healing. She opens up about overcoming resentment, from friends to classmates who sided with her perpetrator, to the societal biases and victim-blaming that added to her pain.

They discuss the weight of navigating blame, including the haunting words, “You’re going to ruin his life,” and how she fought to reclaim her voice in the face of doubt and stigma. Her reflections touch on universal themes of anger, blame, and the fight for meaning and connection after trauma. This episode is a testament to the resilience of survivors and the power of speaking out. Join us for the next chapter in this unforgettable journey!
