Each week leading up to the National Sexual Assault Conference, we’re sitting down with a different NSAC presenter, highlighting their specialties, what their bringing to the movement to end sexual violence and how they got to where they are.

Our second prevention story takes us to Los Angeles, California, to the Center for the Pacific Asian Family, where preventionists and advocates are coming together to address the culture of shame and silence in Asian Pacific Islander communities. We’re sitting down with Anna Lee and Natchawi (Nat) Wadman, who are presenting at NSAC with their colleague Kwan Wimwipha Chaiu, to unpack what culturally-responsive prevention actually means, how to better practice culturally responsive care, and what changes within ourselves and our communities when we do.
