Team
Kristina Sarhadi
Co-Founder + CEO (Chief Empowerment Officer)
Therapist and writer. Kristina’s experiences growing up in the NY punk scene informed her career as a social worker, and led her to establish a trauma-informed therapy practice focused on liberation + empowerment. In 2023, when she shared her story on enough: a podcast about sexual assault in the music industry, a wave of brave women began contacting her with their own accounts of abuse at the hands of a serial predator among us. TPRT was created in response.
Sarah Levy
CEO (Chief Education Officer)
Educator, musician, survivor and advocate. Hailing from the SF/Bay Area punk scene, Sarah has been playing and touring in bands since 2010. After multiple SA experiences by bandmates, Sarah transformed their mission into supporting survivors of sexual assault with tangible resources towards their own healing and empowerment, while aiming to educate the greater community around issues of consent + accountability.
Samantha Maloney
Co-Founder + CEO (Chief Executive Officer)
Rock drummer turned music executive turned advocate. Sam has been a music consultant for multiple survivors of sexual assault in the music industry since signing an NDA in 2018. In 2022, she was one of only 3 women to testify in Sacramento in support of California’s Adult Survivors Act CA 2777, a bill she and other survivors created to hold perpetrators of adult sexual assault and their enablers accountable for their crimes. Through TPRT Sam remains an active advocate for survivors in music.
