Episode #3: Ira Rishi and Tricia-Kay Williams

TThis episode is a gentle conversation between host Ira Rishi, and Tricia-Kay Williams, SFU’s counsellor who has been working with Black students on campus.They reflect on the importance of long-lasting, community-based support for survivors. They explore the deep responsibility and privilege of being entrusted with someone’s story, and what it means to receive that trust with humility. Through their conversation, they invite listeners to shift away from centering themselves and toward becoming attentive-patient listeners, steady resource-givers, and careful space-holders. This episode highlights how humility, presence, and intentionality can profoundly change the way we show up for survivors, and how our attitude, our openness, and our willingness to truly hold space, can transform not only the healing journey of survivors, but the culture of care within our communities.
