I’m super excited about the launch of our new video series, #AskJessica. Here’s the first, on street harassment. You can ask me a question on Twitter using the hashtag #AskJessica. If you’re not on Twitter, hit me up on my Facebook page. I’ll answer one question a week by video—so if there’s anything you’ve ever wanted to ask me, now is the time!

Sick of always taking the high road when it comes to dealing with misogynists? So is Jessica.
