#350: "Black and Missing" with Soledad O'Brien - Part 2

We continue our interview with Soledad O’Brien about her new HBO docu-series “Black and Missing”. Jim and Soledad talk about how the word “missing” is problematic as it can downshift the urgency of the public and law enforcement to find a person who is at risk. Laura applauds the series for focusing on women and girls of color, who often do not have a voice and are disproportionately affected by sex trafficking.

KILLER CASTING PODCAST - This week Lisa sits down with actress and victim advocate Sarah Ann Masse who came forward in 2017 about the sexual assault she says occured when she interviewed for a nanny job with Harvey Weinstein. Sarah tells me what happened that day at his Connecticut home, and in the years afterwards, the anxiety of staying silent. When she finally did go public, she was further victimized by entertainment industry backlash. Sarah has created an advocacy organization to help other victims and silence breakers from industry retaliation. Her organization is called Hire Survivors Hollywood. https://hiresurvivorshollywood.org Please take a listen and subscribe https://killercasting.libsyn.com/killer-casting-sarah-ann-masse?fbclid=IwAR0ryjHK_6fDxGYq68kWb1Cce_BD86DezWUXaV0rwfct6o0vladXhZYfHkU
