    Unlearning: self care, social work & joy

    Eddie Travieso is a social worker in NYC, artist, and a friend of mine from undergrad! Instead of focusing on burnout and barriers, we focus on the messy, funny, human parts of doing social work. We break down the idea of self care, the grad school experience, and how to find joy in everything and everywhere, all at once 🥯 Follow Unlearning Out Loud at @unlearningoutloudpod on Instagram :)

    Unlearning: how policy is key to prevention

    Join myself & Omny Miranda Martone, founder of the Sexual Violence Prevention Association (SVPA) for a conversation on how policies, institutions, and societal norms perpetuate harm, and what we can do to challenge and dismantle the root causes.  We explore how rape culture, systemic oppression, and technology intersect with sexual violence, and how policy can be a powerful tool for prevention, when used intentionally.  I think most importantly, we end with a message of hope and provide accessible action items folks can do to make a big difference!  Follow SVPA’s work at @SVPAofficial on social media, learn more and donate at s-v-p-a.org Follow Unlearning Out Loud at @unlearningoutloudpod on Instagram :)
