Episode 6: Let’s roar withSara Yan

Content warning: Domestic and family violence

My guest this month is Sara Yan. Sara has Chinese heritage and is a talented writer, cartoonist and published author. She’s the brains behind the comic strips ‘Lennan and Smallsy’ and ‘Live, Learn, Change’ which aim to educate about domestic abuse, by focusing on boys and men. Sara and I talk about what it’s like being a halfie, plus her own experience of domestic and family violence and why it inspired her to do what she does. We also discuss myths about perpetrators, potential solutions to reduce male violence, before ending with great advice for other girls and women of colour.

 

Sara and I love Lundy Bancroft’s books. These are excellent resources if you want to learn about domestic violence.
