    Advocacy Coalitions: What your city officials need to do NOW with Bianca Rosen

    On this episode I sit down with Bianca Rosen. Bianca Rosen is a writer, anti-rape advocate, and communications strategist based in the Bay Area. Her work in the anti-rape movement began as a sexual assault counselor in San Francisco. For three and a half years, she supported survivors on the local crisis line. Through this experience, she witnessed how the City mistreats survivors and fails in its response to sexual violence. Bianca’s time as a counselor galvanized her to advocate and write extensively on this issue. She wrote a graduate thesis that examined San Francisco’s response to sexual assault from a survivor-centered perspective and made recommendations for change. She adapted this graduate thesis into an article for a local publication and authored several Op-Eds that jumpstarted a dialogue among elected leaders and community members about adopting more survivor-centered practices. Today, she is organizing a coalition of survivors and allies on the frontlines of local anti-rape advocacy work. She wants to build the survivor community’s political power to interrupt and improve responses to sexual violence at the local level.

    Paving the way: Rashonda Wilson on Advocating for Survivors of Color

    Rashonda Wilson is the founder of I'm A Survivor, Inc.  As a woman of the African Diaspora ("Women of Color") and a survivor of sexual assault, she is passionate about healing women of color, who are survivors of sexual violence and communities affected by it.  Accordingly, Ms. Wilson found a need to advocate for women of color, who are survivors of sexual violence as well as spreading awareness about sexual violence in the Detroit Metropolitan Area. I'm A Survivor, Inc. envisions the world healed from generational trauma that continues to haunt marginalized communities and women of color.  Therefore, I'm A Survivor, Inc. strives to help women of color have a voice; to reshape systems or institutions that oppress, marginalize, and objectify women of color; and to descretate the rape culture. In order to achieve this vision, I'm A Survivor, Inc.  1) encourages healing via support group services, Bible study, and indigenous spiritual healing methods; 2) empowers women of color to boldly share their stories in order to debunk stereotypes that women of color cannot get raped; and 3) educates communities in the Detroit Metropolitan Area on sexual violence and its effects on women of color, the Black family, and the inner city community in an effort to stop blaming rape on woman of color and encourage the conversation of sexual violence in the Black family.
