Series Title: Straight Talk on Patriarchy and Harm [Part I of II]

In this episode I read to you a shocking and brilliant article that I wish every Latter-day Saint can hear. This is a tough topic but one where reform will not touch until we start looking it in the eye. Please listen and share this article. Thank you to the Dialogue Foundation and to the author Suzanne E. Greco, whose trailblazing work may eventually be instrumental in preventing countless LDS women and girls from future harm.

She wrote the article. I read the article. Please do your part and share the article (via the podcast or linked HERE!)
