Prevention Then and Now: Conversations with Community Leaders with Rebeca Melendez, Part 2

Part 2 of our conversation with Community Leader Rebeca Melendez closes out our 20th Anniversary Season!
If you haven’t listened to Part 1, we highly recommend that you listen to the episode first to hear an excerpt from Rebeca’s plenary speech at the 2025 National Sexual Assault Conference®. 

In Part 2, Rebeca sits down with Ashleigh Klein-Jimenez to talk about navigating belonging, finding community, and the impact of building programs with the community, not for the community, at the East Los Angeles Women’s Center (ELAWC).

Listen in as they explore the possibilities of prevention when we listen to what communities have and what they may need.
