We Need A Disney Princess Who…
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (#SAAM) and we will be discussing advocacy all month long.
Last week K&K hosted the first “LASKI Live” episode on Facebook as the viral Disney vs. Pixar bracket. It was quite the throwdown, but the tiaras made it pleasant.

If you missed the live version, you can still watch it with real-time comments and see which flick won here: https://www.facebook.com/LASKIpodcast/

Adults can watch and understand one of the opening key scenes is actually a metaphor for sexual assault. It doesn’t need to be explained that way to children, however. Read the article she references here: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/11/angelina-jolie-maleficent-rape-scene_n_5485633.html
And Finally, It Is Not Pronounced “JIF”, It’s “GIF”.
