Following the rise of the #MeToo movement, stories coming out of Hollywood, news organizations, and other places of power have caused an uptick in much-needed awareness regarding how devastatingly widespread sexual harassment and assault are in today's society, including creative fields.
The leadership at Rising Tide Society and Honeybook wanted to collect data on how widespread these acts are specifically amongst Rising Tide Society members. There was an anonymous survey sent out amongst the members where people could share their stories, how these acts affected their work/creative environment, and other information.
Many entrepreneurs don't have an HR department or someone they can go to from a business perspective but hopefully this episode will shed some light on how widespread sexual harassment and assault are in the occupations of Rising Tide Society and Honeybook members and some advice on what you can do if you or someone you know has been hurt by these acts.
This one is a tough but necessary episode for The Bearded Tog audience. You are not alone. Here are some of the helpful links Kait Masters shares in this episode:
