In this episode, the Swain Girls talk with PAVE Ambassador Chessy Prout about sexual assault, consent, communication, and healthy relationships. Chessy is currently a student at Barnard College, activist, and nationally-acclaimed author. Her book, I Have The Right To, describes her story of sexual assault during her freshman year at St. Paul's Boarding School in New Hampshire and her journey coping and dealing with this attack. Chessy has been featured on the Today Show, presented at conferences, and daily shares her mission to help other sexual assault survivors and encourage them to find their voice, speak up, and be heard.
