This week, we hosted a roundtable discussion on sexual violence with a group of women of color undergraduates, PhD students, activists, and writers. Thank you to Laura Jaramillo, Tammie Zhao, Katherine Gan, and Mia Miranda for participating in this dialogue.
In our conversation, we explain what sexual violence is, answer questions from listeners, and discuss our own experiences of breaking from toxic cycles of abuse. You’ll also hear our instructor Mia Miranda read from her auto fictional short story on sexual violence, titled “Slaughterhouse.”
