What is our story?
Alex and Ali met in their Women's Studies 440 class and realized that they also had their Communication Studies Capstone class together. While walking together between these two classes they began talking about the books they were reading for their Women's Studies class, and what each one was planning on doing for their senior project. After a thought provoking class discussion on the high numbers of teenage sexualt assault they decided that was what they wanted to do their project on, and thus The Story of Consent was born- to help bring the discussions and narratives that they experienced and shared in their class to a more accessible and anonymous space for everyone to come and learn and share.
