In today’s episode, my sister Ashley and I talk about how society enables abusers who have money and power, such as Diddy, Dan Schneider, R. Kelly, Brian Peck, and more. We discuss how men get away with abusing women + children, and because they have money, it gets swept under the rug. We highlight the importance of at least having conversations about what is currently going on and advocating for victims of abuse or those in vulnerable situations through boycotts to spread awareness. We discuss how unfair our system is for women, children, and people who are not rich. If you’re interested in any of these topics, come join us!
