On this #SurvivorStories series episode, our guest is Aneri Shah, founder of the Matriarchy,an organization that envisions that all genders can come together to discuss gender-based violence, its causes and its impact, in order to effect positive policy change. Aneri speaks with us today about growing up first generation American, gender roles, and how her identity as an Indian-American informed how she and her family and community responded to her own #MeToo moment.

During our conversation, Aneri and I referenced the following resources and topics:

The Indian-Canadian comedian, Russell Peters
The concept of "filial piety" in Asian families
The Netflix show, "Dating Around"
The effects of Rohypnol or the "roofie" drug
The Grey's Anatomy episode on the process of collecting a rape kit
How Simone Biles responded to her trauma through sleep
Rebecca Traister's book: "Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women's Anger"
