Hello and welcome to IWay with Jermina Jameel, the show where we are starting a revolution

against shame. Today's episode is, I mean, it just couldn't be more perfect. It's definitely

on a heavier subject than some others and so I will offer many trigger warnings and that we talk

a lot about sexual trauma. But the other side of sexual trauma, how to recover. I have specialist

Gemini Keiborn. On the podcast today, I've spoken a lot about Gemini Kei online for years now because

I first interviewed her maybe maybe seven years ago and was just blown away by everything she

told me and everything she told me during her interview back then stayed with me and I went on

to tell everyone about her since then and and pass her words on to others in moments of need.

I've just I'm just I'm just obsessed with how Gemini Kei looks at the world, how Gemini Kei looks at

recovery and self-preservation and so we do talk about trauma, we talk about understanding your triggers,

we talk about consent, we talk about training your friends to be able to support you something I'd

never thought of before today's episode and the way that I do now. We talk about the importance of

teaching young people about consent and how best to do that and most importantly about rejection,

about the impact of not teaching people about rejection, how to give it and most importantly how

to receive it and to understand it's not the end of the world and so much of the violence that we see

can sometimes be just a lack of education around how to handle rejection or what it actually means.

We discuss boundaries, how to have them both emotional and sexual and we talk about body forgiveness

learning to love yourself after sexual trauma and going on self-dates and I'm not going to tell you

what those mean because you should find out directly from Gemini Kei, not me. Just listen to the

episode if you feel like you're in the right state of mind, I think her work and her words are very

healing and I'm just dying to know what you think. So message me after this but for now this is the

excellent Gemini Kei Bon. Gemini Kei Bon, welcome to our way, how are you?
