Podcast Overview
<p>There are many myths and misconceptions about sex trafficking and prostitution. Furthermore, hardly anyone talks about what happens after “the life” – the painful, nitty-gritty business of rebuilding and healing. This limited podcast series, hosted by survivor leader Melanie Thompson, invites you inside raw and honest conversations between sex trade survivors as they explore topics critical to the survivor community in New York City and beyond. Fighting against a culture that persistently blames women for their own victimization, Melanie and her guests examine what it means to survive exploitation, from navigating systems and services to drawing professional and personal boundaries in advocacy work. Each episode of Exit Wound is designed to provide survivors with the tools to drive change in their own lives and communities.</p>

Episode 12: What You Wish You Knew
<p>It’s the last episode of <em>Exit Wound</em>! And what better way to close out the season than to reflect on our then and our now? Melanie and survivor leaders Gabrielle Prieto, Shamere McKenzie, and Sunny Palmer sit down to reflect on their younger selves in “the life” - what they wish they had known about themselves and about the world. This emotional episode also celebrates how far each woman has come in her own journey as survivors and as leaders.
