Episode Synopsis

Freelance writer and activist Devi Jags ran cross country for Xavier University, but her collegiate experience included injuries in her sport and traumatic events such as sexual assault and relationship violence.  She now works with End Rape on Campus and Its on Us to educate student-athletes about how to be aware of the “Red Zone” (the months between August and November in which over 50% of sexual assaults occur on college campuses) and to help them find supports for mental health.  Devi shares her powerful story with Unit3d, as well as some of the advocacy work she is doing to help other student athletes have a better experience in sport and college than she did.
