17. KPFA International Women's Day Special: Restorative Justice and Releasing Responsibility

Tune in for this bonus episode which first aired on KPFA as part of the KPFA International Women's Day programming. Join us as Johanna shares her saga of waiting for a new vibrator to be delivered and Erica shares her joy in getting in touch with her body. This episode contains our interview with Kyra Jones from Episode 6.  [Content Warning]: This is a podcast where survivors share stories of sexual assault, sexual violence, and r*pe. In this episode, Kyra's story includes instances of r*pe as well as mentions of harm done to additional survivors. In this episode, we speak to survivor Kyra Jones who compares her contrasting experiences following reporting two sexual assaults - one through the carceral system and one through a restorative justice (RJ) process. Kyra takes us through the steps of both processes including the very public RJ process she underwent with her rapist Malcolm London, facilitated by prolific activist and organizer Mariame Kaba.  Survivor Kyra Jones is a Black queer multidisciplinary filmmaker, sex educator, and survivor advocate.
