"Say It" with Hannah Brancato - 017 But Her Lyrics...

Speaking with Shawna is guest Hannah Brancato, co-founder of the culture-jamming FORCE: Upsetting Rape Culture, the organization behind The Monument Quilt for survivors of rape and sexual assault, and their allies. They discuss collaborating on the music video, what it was like to see the effects of their activism in real time, and the difficult necessity of living our values. Learn all about the War On Women song “Say It” - insight on making the video (including how they ensured full consent from everyone appearing in the video), critiques of the song, a short history of WOW’s self-titled album, and more.

The official sponsor of this episode is  First Defense Krav Maga out of Herndon, VA.
