2-08: Exploitation in Hollywood & Speaking Out As a Survivor with Rachele Royale
Manage episode 378192174 series 3415480
Rachele Royale is a powerhouse – she’s a musician and podcaster who’s not afraid to call sh*t how it is. Before their conversation, Norma discusses Hispanic Heritage Month in the intro, Cuba and freedom of expression, and recent news of rising rates of femicide in Cuba in the intro. She also shares politician and survivor Katie Hill’s recent piece about Susanna Gibson, political candidate who recently publicly became a victim of image-based sexual abuse. Then, we get to this week’s guest. This episode is recorded in 2 parts – in part 1, a clip from Rachele’s podcast Haus of Royale, Rachele tells us about the exploitation she was subjected to as a young rising musician, and the community she found at the strip club. (Check out Haus of Royale for the full Part 1 of their conversation!) Then, in part 2, Rachele delves deeper into some of the aspects at play that made her more vulnerable – from her home life, to predatory older men who’d enter her path. Rachele gets real about the positives and negatives from her time stripping, and talks about how it healed her relationship with dance, an art she grew up with. She talks about the need for more women to become vocal engineers, ageism within the entertainment industry, and why podcasting and speaking out as a survivor have been healing.
