Episode three! Before her conversation with the brilliant Leah Juliett, Norma reflects on the recent shooting at a gay club in Colorado Springs and the ways that LGBTQ+ people are at increased risk of violence — a fact that's discussed throughout the episode. Then, meet Leah Juliett: queer, nonbinary political activist, founder of March Against Revenge Porn and Survivor Social Media LLC, and author of Naked in Public. Norma and Leah get into how Leah started their nonprofit at 19 years old, "trauma porn" and tips for survivors sharing their stories for the first time, Leah graciously defines some key terms and the difference between gender and sexuality (+ what does nonbinary mean?!), how we can be more inclusive, tattoos as a form of reclamation, and they get into some of the poems from their book – from surviving from sexual trauma, to sex on antidepressants, to healing through queer love.
