S2E16 CW/TW: Conversations about being a SA Survivor

Raw Bar with Goddess Cecilia

Trigger Warning:

This episode contains discussions about sexual assault and survivorship that may be triggering for some listeners.

Hi, everyone! This is Goddess Cecilia, and welcome to Raw Bar where we talk about sex positivity, pleasure, and education. This is where we break taboos and stereotypes imposed by our cultural norms and society’s perceptions and standards.

We’re down to our last episode for the season, and what way to end it than by sitting down with my fellow speakers from the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center (BARCC) Speakers Bureau, Corey and Jocely.

We won’t talk about our personal experiences here. Instead, we will give you a glimpse of what survivorship feels and looks like and how we are helping support other members of the community with education, advocacy, and prevention initiatives.

I hope you take the time to join us in this intense but necessary discussion. In the meantime, remember to love yourself and show yourself some compassion. Stream the episode and subscribe to my podcast for more engaging, stimulating sex-related discussions.
