Advocating Against MST with Shield of Sisters ft. Kaila Fain - HWSR Ep 143

In this episode of the He's Wrong She's Right podcast, ‘Advocating Against MST with Shield of Sisters ft. Kaila Fain’, hosts Andrew Lemacks and Nona Phelps welcome back Kaila Fain, their first returning guest. Kaila passionately discusses her advocacy work with Shield of Sisters, a nonprofit organization focused on combating military sexual trauma (MST). She shares deeply personal experiences, elucidates the pervasive inadequacies within the military's handling of MST cases, and elaborates on the rampant issues of retaliation and lack of support for survivors. Kayla highlights her recent keynote speech at a Shield of Sisters conference, which solely focused on MST survivors. She describes the heavy yet empowering atmosphere of the event, where attendees found solace and strength in sharing their stories. Furthermore, she talks about her vision for the future, including the creation of a 'battle angels' program that sends advocates to support MST victims in real-time. Kaila also discusses her involvement with the Technology Shared Foundation, aimed at bridging the technology divide for underserved communities. The issue of public awareness, desensitization from social media, and the need for systemic change in military protocols are also touched upon. The episode underscores the crucial necessity for accountability, integrity, and a significant cultural shift within the military to ensure the protection and support of its service members. Kaila's mission is clear: to bring about real change and give survivors the advocacy they deserve.Learn more about Shield of Sisters https://lemacks.app/shieldofsistersTechnology Shared Foundation at https://lemacks.app/technologyshared Join the channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3T1SGAso7WQmcPEEL3w4Bw/join Visit our website https://heswrongshesright.comAll HWSR Links https://heswrongshesright.com/linksSponsor inquiries https://heswrongshesright.com/sponsors/Get a Shoutout in a future episode or check out the merch https://heswrongshesright.com/shop/Donate to https://youtube.com/@veteranwiki by visiting https://veteranwiki.orghttps://youtube.com/@LemacksMedia https://lemacksmedia.comNóna Phelps - Independent Insurance https://nonaphelps.comSocial MediaYouTube https://lemacks.app/hwsrytTwitter (X) https://lemacks.app/hwsrtwitterFacebook https://lemacks.app/hwsrfbInstagram https://lemacks.app/hwsrigReddit https://lemacks.app/hwsrredditTumblr https://lemacks.app/hwsrtumblrPinterest https://lemacks.app/hwsrpinterestLinkedIn https://lemacks.app/hwsrlinkedinBluesky https://lemacks.app/hwsrblueskyMastodon https://lemacks.app/hwsrmastodonIMDb https://lemacks.app/hwsrimdb TikTok https://lemacks.app/hwsrtiktok PodcastsYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@HesWrongShesRightSubstack https://lemacks.app/hwsrsubstack Patreon https://lemacks.app/hwsrpatronSpotify https://lemacks.app/hwsrspotifyApple https://lemacks.app/hwsrappleAmazon https://lemacks.app/hwsramazoniHeart https://lemacks.app/iheartradioPocketCast https://lemacks.app/pocketcastRumble https://lemacks.app/hwsrrumbleDeezer https://lemacks.app/hwsrdeezerRSS FeedsFeedBurner https://lemacks.app/feedburnerSpotify https://lemacks.app/spotifyrss00:00 Introduction and Advocacy01:14 Podcast Introduction and Guest Welcome02:00 Jay's Prosthetic Journey03:30 Keynote Speaking Engagement03:47 Shield of Sisters Conference05:42 Military Sexual Trauma Awareness11:11 Social Media and Desensitization22:13 Nonprofit Efforts and Future Plans33:26 Technology Shared Foundation37:52 Nonprofit Collaboration and Skill Bridge Program39:32 Technology Access for Underserved Communities44:32 Challenges and Misconceptions in Nonprofit Work48:48 Advocacy for Women and Accountability in the Military50:38 Systemic Issues and Personal Accountability58:42 Leadership and Accountability in the Military01:12:18 Conclusion and Call to Action
