Tashmica Torok joins David Ryan Barcega Castro-Harris to talk about joy as an organizing strategy, why we should plan for care over chaos, and her decades long efforts to end child sexual abuse.

In this conversation, Tashmica shares how joy and community care have sustained her activism, what it takes to build hope in the midst of grief and injustice, and why treating children as full human beings is essential to preventing violence.

She reflects on stepping away from nonprofit leadership, the lessons she’s carrying forward through Aletheia Coaching & Consulting, and the many roles people can play in creating safer, more connected communities.

Topics we cover:

  • Joy as a survival skill and organizing strategy
  • Planning for care instead of chaos
  • Lessons from a decade leading The Firecracker Foundation
  • Survivor-led approaches to healing and prevention
  • Building resilient, abolitionist communities
