Marcus, Priscilla and Break the Silence Movement

However, this episode of our podcast discusses themes related to sexual assault, including personal accounts and discussions that may be distressing to some listeners. Please take care of yourself and consider your emotional well-being before listening. If you or someone you know needs support, resources are available. You can find links to some of these resources in our show notes or you can call the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-4673. Let's Talk Wilco dives into a real conversation with Marcus Reese and Priscilla Moreno about child abuse and the local movement to help survivors in East Wilco.
