You can call her Daddy, you can call her Alex, and now, you can call her an advocate: for truth, survivors, and for every person who's been silenced by an institution meant to protect them.Before interviewing celebrities on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Unwell founder Alex Cooper was a D1 athlete on Boston University’s women’s soccer team…and hid a painful secret for years. I could have done a better job at handling BU's allegations as a former PR intern.  So, I'm doing exactly that: breaking down the raw, and deeply personal s*xual harassment allegations from Alex Cooper’s new Hulu documentary, Call Her Alex, where she speaks out for the first time about her experience, and taking it a step further by talking about what BU should have done better (and could still do to). Ultimately, this is about an even bigger message hers represents: It’s a story about broken systems that protect alleged abusers, and about what it means to reclaim your voice—and the ripple effect that happens when one woman finally says: enough.Resources from this episode:📌Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741 📌Know Your IX: advocatesforyouth.org 📌RAINN: rainn.orgWatch on YouTube:https://youtu.be/yQkLaNXHqVI📌 hosted by @melbeuz on Instagram#alexcooper #callheralex #alexcooperdocumentary #titleiv #bostonuniversity #bostonuniversityallegationsSend us Fan Mail📌 Subscribe to the podcast so you never miss an episode.⭐ Leave a review—it helps more people find the podcast and keeps these conversations going.📲 I love hearing from you—follow @JeansWithABlazer for latest episode updates and @melbeuz on Instagram and tag me your biggest takeaways, your latest wins, or what topics you want to hear next.Listen to Jeans with a Blazer on your favorite platforms:Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTubeConnect with the Show and host:Show: Instagram.com/jeanswithablazerHost: instagram.com/melbeuz/Website & Newsletter: Jeanswithablazer.comEmail: [email protected]: “Sugar Groove” by INPLUSMUSIC — Licensed via PremiumBeat (License #6849247, Order #5428551) for Jeans With a Blazer podcast.
