Are you tuned in? Lock in to this new episode of Higher Education with Dr. BFran

Dr. BFran sits down with Shahem McLaurin, licensed therapist, founder of an independent mental health agency, and public mental health educator for a powerful, eye-opening conversation about the realities of sexual violence and the systems that allow it to persist. Together, they unpack the mental and physical impacts of sexual violence, the power imbalances woven into our culture, and why community-based solutions are essential for healing and redistributing resources where they’re needed most.

Through an intersectional lens, they dive into how race, gender, class, politics, and religion shape the way society understands and often misunderstands sexual violence. They also tackle the growing visibility of the manosphere alongside cuts to programs addressing child trafficking and sexual violence, making this discussion more timely and urgent than ever.

From history and policy to power and reproductive justice, this episode challenges listeners to think deeper, ask harder questions, and imagine what real change could look like.

Tap in, stay informed, and join the conversation because it isn’t just about what we learn, it’s about what we’re willing to confront.
