Summary

We are talking to Sexologist and Activist Michelle Hope about what it means to get into "good trouble." We discuss protesting, actionable items for allies, understanding generational trauma, and the importance of voting from the bottom.

Michelle teaches us about body autonomy, a terrifying history of the US using BIPOC women's bodies to develop birth control and medical tools, the complexities of drinking and consent, and feminism vs. intersectional feminism.

We also hear about how working in a strip club shaped Michelle's views of female sexuality and talk about the ways in which she has healed from physical and emotional trauma.

Trigger Warning: r*pe and racial slurs
