Hey 'P.U.S.H' Project PodCast Family! :)
Please welcome Madelen Low of Helsingborg, Sweden to Episode 65, Season 2, of the PodCast.
In this conversation, Madelen talks about the Not For Profit that she started in 2016 called 'We Rise Again' that was geared towards supporting, and empowering, the voices of Survivors of Abuse/Sexual Assault.
She shares some of the pieces to her story openly, honestly, and vulnerably.
Madelen talks about Abuse & Sexual Assault specifically through the lense of disability, and talks about how she spent time travelling the country talking about the issue, and sharing some of her experiences with Politicians, and at the European Parliament.
Her main goal, to help people know that they are not alone in their story.
She shares some of the challenges in identifying with a 'Minority Group', and explains the term 'Energy Intensive', and how that influences/amplifies some of the challenges she faces.
Madelen talks about pushing to create change, and continuing to balance her health, and looking after herself, with raising her voice, fighting for rights, and continuing to raise the issues that affect so many humans that identify as a Minority, and how much extra energy it takes to navigate a world that is not accessible/as equitable as it could be.
Madelen talks about the role that art plays in her re-energizing.
Thank you so much Madelen. You are an absolute Rockstar, doing such important work, and we're so grateful to you for sharing your story, raising your voice, and doing the awesome things that you're doing.
We can't wait to see you again soon!
:)
