Ep 17: Disrupting Sexual Assault On All US College Campuses with Tracy DeTomasi
On this week’s episode, we are replaying our episode with Tracy DeTomasi, CEO of Callisto, in honor of Callisto being released on ALL college campuses in the USA as of October 16th, 2023!
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Tracy has extensive experience in gender-based violence, giving her a deep understanding of the ecosystem of survivors, offenders, and allies. She has consulted with organizations to develop tech-based tools, such as an app that educates users about violence against women, a smartphone device for sexual violence prevention safety, and virtual reality trainings to address Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Anti-Sexual Harassment. To say that Tracy has been instrumental in changing domestic violence laws, education, and understanding in the US and globally is an understatement.
Trigger Warning: This episode does contain references to sexual violence. If that is triggering for you, we suggest skipping this episode, listening to some of the previous episodes, or joining us in the coming weeks for future episodes!
