0:00.0	Hello and welcome to another episode of iWay with Jameeda Jamell podcast against shame.
0:04.8	I love this guest and I can't believe she hasn't been on the fucking podcast yet considering
0:08.7	how much I admire her and how much I align with her and so many different things.
0:12.9	I think she's just such an excellent communicator so raw, so relatable, a fucking excellent writer
0:19.9	and voice and activist and human being who has truly put her youth on the line to be able to
0:28.4	fight for the rights of others. And in this incredibly personal and honest chat,
0:35.2	we talk about what that price feels like and things that she regrets, things she would have done

1:32.8	a big deal and made people realise the trauma of being violated in that way and that work led to
1:39.8	other work around rape culture and misogyny and feminism and then racism and how it intersects
1:46.0	with all these different marginalised groups and now she's written a book called No Offence but
1:52.0	that is a kind of answer to all of the reductive sentences that people give out when they are trying
1:58.4	to diminish your argument for equal rights so it could be bigotry, homosogony or racism,
2:05.5	she and a bunch of other fantastic activists some of whom have been on this podcast have written
2:11.8	brilliant essays that are an eloquent and thorough response to people who can't be bothered to do
