TW/CW: Mentions of Anti-Asian hate, sexual violence, and gaslighting
(S8, EP 2) Leslie Lew joins me for this week's episode as she talks about her work as a trauma-informed self-defense coach and what it means to break down the patriarchy and ableism in self-defense work. We discussed the ongoing Stop Asian Hate movement, and what it means to reclaim one's courage.
