Telling Stories of Victory, Not Victimhood | Jo Rose | Ep 27

Jo Rose is releasing an interview series with New Yorkers from all walks of life who faced discrimination during the pandemic. She is a first-generation Dominican American with a strong sense of justice. Jo is a medical freedom activist, former New York City Department of Education employee, and survivor of narcissistic abuse. In part 2 of her interview with host Sienna Mae Heath, Jo discusses examples of current power struggles, emotional intelligence being a sign of other forms of intelligence, and a fundamental disagreement on bodily autonomy regarding one’s body as a temple. Sienna asks Jo: How can stories of victory rather than victimhood be more attractive agents of change? And if the elites’ tactics are so lazy and absurd, how could they be smart enough to have some grand agenda?
