Feminism and Sobriety - Part II with Nina Sarhan

CW: sexual assault 

There is a tremendous amount of tension in the conversation about alcohol and sexual assault; Nina is here to help us name it AND address it. As someone who claims both the labels alcoholic and rape survivor, Nina is using her voice to help banish the shame and stigma so many people associate with addiction and sexual trauma through her online platform @thesobrfeminist. Hear Nina’s story, and learn how getting angry and publicly protesting sexual assault and rape culture have been pivotal to her recovery and her identity as a feminist. (Music by Ava Luna, Loyalty Freak Music, Katrina Stone, Rew, Kola, Space Doves, Borrtex, and Josh Leake.)
