VIBE Check (Violence Intervention and Building Empowerment) unpacks the deep-rooted intersections of gender-based violence, racism, sexism, homophobia, and systemic oppression. This podcast is more than just a history lesson—it’s a call to action. By exposing the past, we empower the present and fight for a future where justice isn’t just an idea, but a reality. Tune in as we challenge the narratives, reclaim our stories, and build a world rooted in empowerment and intervention.
