0:00.0	Hello and welcome to another episode of Iway with Jermela Jamella, a podcast that really hopes to just
0:06.0	kick shame right in the dick. Now I, I really hope you're ready because today's episode is so powerful.
0:13.5	It's so powerful that after I had this chat this week, I couldn't go to sleep afterwards because
0:18.0	I couldn't stop thinking about it. So maybe it's not a late night listen because you might be too
0:22.2	inspired and just jacked up on adrenaline and hope to fall asleep. It's, she, oh god, it's Evan

1:36.8	you may know that Evan came out publicly speaking about experience in a relationship with Marilyn
1:44.5	Manson as the artist name that you might be more familiar with than his real name and she came out
1:51.0	publicly and Evan has taken all of this pain and my God, the brave act of coming out against a
1:58.8	very, very powerful man in this industry. She has taken all of that and used it to alter legislation
2:06.0	in the United States and start discussing legislation worldwide as well and raising awareness
