Today, as we wake up to the disheartening news of the Harvey Weinstein r**e case being overturned, our hearts ache for all victims and survivors. Yet, in the face of such injustice, we stand united, resilient, and determined to make our voices heard. Today, I proudly wear my jeans in solidarity with yesterday’s Denim Day, a powerful symbol of support for survivors everywhere.

The origins of Denim Day remind us of the pervasive victim-blaming attitudes that still exist in our society. In Italy, a young woman’s assault was dismissed because of the clothes she wore. But just as those tight jeans were not consent, neither is any clothing choice an invitation for harm.

Today, I reaffirm my commitment to ending r**e culture and victim-blaming. I stand with survivors, amplifying their voices, and demanding justice and accountability for all. Together, we can create a world where every person feels safe, believed, and supported.

Thank you Rosalina, Medaille University & Canisius College for inviting me once again to come speak at the Take the Night Back event. Another successful and beautiful event.

🎤Honored to once again be invited to speak at the “Take Back the Night” event. This year the event is in collaboration between Medaille University and Canisius College. Open to students, faculty, staff and community of Medaille and Canisius College.

I began speaking at Medaille College in 2017 (6 years ago -due to pandemic it was cancelled in 2020) and this year marks my 6th year speaking. I am always so taken aback by the speakers, audience members and love learning new information from those in leadership at Medaille Collge, in WNY and in NYS.
