Cohosts Jessyca Vandercoy and Rachel Pointer welcome special guest Aubrey Dinslage for part one of a blunt conversation about white supremacy, patriarchy, capitalism, and what all of this has to do with anti-trafficking work. Aubrey shares their perspective on how white supremacy and the patriarchy show up in the work they do with young adults who have experienced trafficking, and the frustrations of having to work within protective systems that exploit instead of support healing. Discomfort is what moves people to change, and this episode connects dots that may make people uncomfortable. Jessyca, Rachel, and Aubrey talk about consent and conflict and how this is related. They wrap up part one of their conversation by engaging in a spirited discussion about the way self-care is advertised.

Join us next week for part two!
