Our young boys and men have inherited a sexist culture that harms girls and women. They didn't create it, they're not responsible for it, but they did inherit it, and they are responsible for and in control of what they do with it. They have a conscious choice to make. Will they continue to contribute to a culture that is unsafe for women, or will they commit to creating a culture that is safe for everyone?
In this episode we chat with Dave Kramer, Ambassador for SmallSteps4Hannah and the InnerBoyApp, and Founder of The HALT Program.
Dave's life work is in honor of his best friend Hannah Clarke and her 3 young children, Aaliyah, Laianah & Trey, who were tragically murdered in February 2020 by Hannah's Ex Husband and Father of the children, Rowan Baxter.
Through unfathomable loss leading to painful self-reflection, Dave shares his deeply personal learnings and experiences about his own contribution as a male to sexist culture, his awareness of and accountability to changing that, and his ongoing commitment to educating others, particularly young people, about respectful relationships. Dave is also passionate about raising awareness of coercive control, a serious form of domestic abuse not widely understood, too often leading to a lack of accountability for the perpetrator, majority of whom are men.
