"A USA Gymnastics Survivor on the Epstein Revelations" - Circuspreneur Podcast

#EpsteinSurvivors #USAGymnastics #EpsteinFiles #CircusArts #PerformingArtsIn this powerful Circuspreneur Podcast episode, Shenea shares her perspective as a USA Gymnastics survivor to unpack what the newly surfaced Epstein revelations really expose: the systemic failures that allow abuse to hide in plain sight.Rather than sensationalize the headlines, Shenea breaks down the structures behind the story — the power imbalances, the institutional blind spots, the culture of silence, and the lack of oversight that echo across sports, education, entertainment, and the creative arts.Drawing on her own lived experience and her work advocating for national safety reforms through the SafeArt & SafeCircus Act and the Circus Workers Act, Shenea explains: why survivor voices must guide policy change, how the Epstein files highlight the urgency of protecting niche and nontraditional environments, what circus, performing arts, and creative industries can learn right now, and why independent oversight is not optional — it’s overdue.This episode is a reminder that when survivors speak, they aren’t just telling their stories — they’re giving us a roadmap for preventing the next tragedy.A must-listen for performers, educators, leaders, policymakers, and anyone committed to creating safer creative spaces.
