Your Story Matters

Listeners we are back this week with episode 200!

What a milestone! Instead of a celebration, Pam comes in to share a part of her story that catapulted her passion for listening to other's stories. It only took 200 episodes for her to feel safe enough to share this story, and by synchronicity, episode 200 landed during April, Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

TRIGGER WARNING: Sexual Assault.

This episode is brought to you by The Washington Office on Latin America
Social leaders often face-off with a Colombian government that refuses to admit its failures, and they stand up to armed groups terrorizing their communities. Hundreds of Afro-descendent and Indigenous social leaders have been killed in Colombia for their work advocating for their communities, yet they persist. In a new documentary podcast series, you will hear why directly from four of them. REBUILDING PEACE IN COLOMBIA, created by the Washington Office on Latin America and in partnership with Peabody-nominated Lantigua Williams & Co as part of the digital advocacy campaign CON LÍDERES HAY PAZ. The four-part, bilingual podcast series follows the stories of social leaders in Colombia who, every day, under threat to their lives, search for truth and work toward reconciliation, fight for justice for victims of the Colombian conflict, and ensure the government lives up to the guarantees it made to ethnic and rural communities in the historic 2016 peace accord. Subscribe now to REBUILDING PEACE IN COLOMBIA wherever you get your podcasts. With social leaders, peace in Colombia is possible. They are asking us to support their work and protect their lives.

Please understand this episode was shared to empower others to share their stories as long as they feel safe. It is our role as citizens of the world to create safe spaces for survivors and thrivers. The goal of this episode is to create awareness of sexual assault and provide resources like those listed below:
