    TW: Mentions of rape and sexual assault

    This is the last of our purity culture series. For this last episode we had an amazing conversation with Mattie Jo Cowsert. Before terms like “deconstruction” “purity culture” or “Exvangelical'' became hashtags all over the internet, Mattie Jo’ popular blog God, Sex & Rich People exposed the sometimes painful, sometimes hilarious realities of a young female Exvangelical navigating the diversity of Big Apple, working for the 1%, and dating in a city that never sleeps (and never stops sleeping around). This is her story.

    Mattie Jo's book will be available September 10th, 2024 on Amazon.
