QuakerSpeak, August 2023

Season 10 premiered at the end of June with a powerful interview featuring Windy Cooler, who is a survivor of domestic violence within her Quaker community. “It never occurred to me to be angry about my experience because I thought I was just alone,” she told us.

“And it became clear that I wasn’t alone. . . .
