Bully Issues with May Malik (part 2)

Welcome to Episode 6 of Find Your Light! Today we have Act Two of my conversation with candidate for New York State Assembly District 73 - May Malik. (If you’d like to hear Act One and get to know May better go back and listen to Episode 5.) May and I discuss former NYC Mayoral Candidate Scott Stringer who appeared to be a front-runner until a sexual misconduct allegation led to many of his endorsers withdrawing their support and his finishing fifth in the race. If you’re interested in more background than what we describe in the episode Ben Smith at the NYTimes had a good autopsy of the story. A “correction” for today’s episode: several times in the conversation I say “emphatic consent” but what I meant to say was, “ enthusiastic consent.” Here’s a definition from RAINN: Enthusiastic Consent is a newer model for understanding consent that focuses on a positive expression of consent. Simply put, enthusiastic consent means looking for the presence of a “yes” rather than the absence of a “no.” Find Your Light is made by rad humans: Brand design is by Veta & Saloni Our social media manager is José Rodriguez Solis on Instagram and Tiktok @cacidoe Our theme music composer and editor is Zach Wachter You can follow Adam on Instagram, Twitter and TikTok at @adammacattck & @postshame
