Complicating How We Talk About Consent with Sarah Ferrato Both/And: A Sexual Violence Prevention Podcast

In this episode, Jess Clark, Director of Prevention for the New Mexico Coalition of Sexual Assault Programs chats with Sarah Ferrato about moving conversations around consent from a deficit, risk-reduction model to one of pleasure, prevention, and maybe even liberation!

Sarah Ferrato (she/they) is the Manager of Sexual Violence Prevention and Public Health Initiatives at the Ohio Alliance to End Sexual Violence and has worked in the anti-violence movement professionally and unprofessionally for almost a decade. Their liberation philosophy is grounded in pleasure-centered community empowerment frameworks supported by imagination, mutual aid, and grassroots organizing. Sarah holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Art History with a focus on Women’s Studies from Kent State University and a certificate in Adolescent Sex Education Basics from Rutgers University. She co-parents four chaotic cats with her partner. They are a novice forager, community organizer, and impulsive book-buyer. And as a typical Libra, you will find scattered half-finished DIY projects throughout their Cleveland home.
