"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

She reads aloud to her class, made up high school seniors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"To what events do you need a verbal yes as consent?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boire had already planned to have this talk with her students about sexual harassment next quarter. But this question -- and the non-stop news about sexual harassment and abuse over the last few weeks -- has pushed the discussion to now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They know that it's wrong and they're very able to say, 'What that guy did was horrible,'\" says Boire. \"But I have taught students where they didn't even know sexual harassment was a thing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"ujr44JUz6fB7urirk92OG0ZM3tOzE7f9\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if they do understand, says Boire, most don’t understand the nuances, and how sexual harassment can play out. She poses a follow up question to the class:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Does anyone want to share what consent is or why consent is important?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eighteen-year-old Ian DeTreville is the first to answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Most people say yes but you can also tell if they're reluctant and then you should probably not,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yeah,\" says Boire. \"But how do you tell? Is it the tone of their voice, or body language?\" she presses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yeah, it's a lot of body language and language cues honestly,\" DeTreville continues. \"Because in everyday life, most people will say something and then they could possibly mean something else.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boire says this back and forth about the nuances of human interaction is one of the most important parts of sex education. But for generations it's been one of the most overlooked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was literally you know, anatomy, physiology, STIs. And that was it,\" says Boire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"LRvSlRWtaKM8tZ4Vs7r3tTM2sRguPokM\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has recently become known as a leader for teaching beyond the basics. Three years ago the state passed the Healthy Youth Act, which requires educators teach about topics like sexual assault and sexual harassment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The curriculum Boire follows goes a step further, asking to students discuss these topics with loved ones at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And the kids hate it but in the end they realize it wasn't that bad,\" Boire says. \"And parents love it, they really open up to their kids.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In class, these conversations also drift into the grey areas. Take for example, what happens later in class, when Boire puts two signs up across the room. One says \"Disagree.\" The other says \"Agree.\" She poses a series of questions, and has the students move from one side to the other based on their stance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Sending unwanted, explicit text messages is a form of sexual harassment. Agree or disagree?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not a big deal to me anymore honestly,\" says 18-year-old DeTreville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You feel it's normalized?\" asks Boire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeTreville responds. \"It just happens so often, you just get over it and move on.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But 17-year-old senior Allyson Huelsenkamp argues it is harmful. Most, aren’t asking for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The other person is doing it without your consent so it's not really agreeable,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boire will likely have this kind of conversation a few more times this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You know, I can't protect them,\" she says. \"I can't be there all the time, but I can definitely start to give them tools on how to work with this and give them outlets for this information.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is, tools to make informed decisions about what’s OK -- and what’s not.\u003c/p>\n\n",

She poses a follow up question to the class:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Does anyone want to share what consent is or why consent is important?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eighteen-year-old Ian DeTreville is the first to answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Most people say yes but you can also tell if they're reluctant and then you should probably not,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yeah,\" says Boire. \"But how do you tell? Is it the tone of their voice, or body language?\" she presses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yeah, it's a lot of body language and language cues honestly,\" DeTreville continues. \"Because in everyday life, most people will say something and then they could possibly mean something else.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boire says this back and forth about the nuances of human interaction is one of the most important parts of sex education. But for generations it's been one of the most overlooked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was literally you know, anatomy, physiology, STIs. And that was it,\" says Boire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has recently become known as a leader for teaching beyond the basics. Three years ago the state passed the Healthy Youth Act, which requires educators teach about topics like sexual assault and sexual harassment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The curriculum Boire follows goes a step further, asking to students discuss these topics with loved ones at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And the kids hate it but in the end they realize it wasn't that bad,\" Boire says. \"And parents love it, they really open up to their kids.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In class, these conversations also drift into the grey areas. Take for example, what happens later in class, when Boire puts two signs up across the room. One says \"Disagree.\" The other says \"Agree.\" She poses a series of questions, and has the students move from one side to the other based on their stance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Sending unwanted, explicit text messages is a form of sexual harassment. Agree or disagree?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not a big deal to me anymore honestly,\" says 18-year-old DeTreville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You feel it's normalized?\" asks Boire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeTreville responds. \"It just happens so often, you just get over it and move on.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But 17-year-old senior Allyson Huelsenkamp argues it is harmful. Most, aren’t asking for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The other person is doing it without your consent so it's not really agreeable,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boire will likely have this kind of conversation a few more times this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You know, I can't protect them,\" she says. \"I can't be there all the time, but I can definitely start to give them tools on how to work with this and give them outlets for this information.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is, tools to make informed decisions about what’s OK -- and what’s not.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Vega explained \"Tinsel\" is a nickname of Almena's.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors have sought to establish through Vega and other witnesses at \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/12/06/witness-recalls-escape-from-oakland-warehouse-during-ghost-ship-fire/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">preliminary hearings that began on Wednesday\u003c/a> that Almena was in charge of the space, along with his second-in-command and \"creative director,\" Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Vega and two other former residents have pushed back against those labels for the two defendants, instead describing an artists' collective with no clear leader or hierarchy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's just a different system,\" Vega said. \"We didn't have an 'in-charge.' We had a collective. We all did our best.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Ghost Ship resident Jose Avalos testified that Oakland police officers had been to the building multiple times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They came and they helped us evict people who just refused to leave,\" Avalos said. He also said an OPD officer would occasionally stop by the warehouse \"to check on us\" and was friendly with Almena.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vega said the Satya Yuga art collective -- another name for the community at the warehouse -- grew \"organically.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This had become way more of an Oakland art movement that just landed on us,\" she said. The residents swelled to more than 20 people in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vega began crying when Lim asked her about Peter Wadsworth, the only Ghost Ship resident to die in the fire. The other 35 people who died were attending a concert on Dec. 2, 2016, when the building caught fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He died a horrible death,\" Vega said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Avalos and Vega testified that they both gave money to Harris in exchange for living at the warehouse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I would bring it to Max and he would just hold it,\" she said, stating that she initially paid $250 and had last paid $1,400. \"That's not like a fun job. It's full of drama and melodrama. Max was just such a sweetie pie.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Lim asked her who invited her to live in the space, Vega answered, \"The art community.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The art community is a living, breathing entity beyond one person,\" she said. \"Artists can rub two nickles together and make a dollar. Artists can make a city.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Satya Yuga: Origin of the Ghost Ship\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nicholas Bouchard testified he had a very different vision for the space when he co-signed a lease with Almena and Eva Ng, building owner Chor Ng's daughter, in late 2012. Max Harris didn't join the group until two years later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bouchard said he was part of the Satya Yuga art collective along with Almena and six or seven other people who set out to start a community center, which would eventually host after-school programs in addition to art and music events. The group moved a few RV's into the warehouse and immediately started living there, in violation of the lease conditions. He said he believed Eva Ng was aware people would be living in the warehouse, though.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But soon after signing the lease, he and Almena had a falling out, Bouchard said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Most of the decision making was done by Derick (Almena) at that time,\" he testified. \"There was the tendency for plans to change depending on what Derick wanted.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That included cutting a large hole in the second floor, Bouchard said. He called a meeting of the group and invited his mother for advice on how to fundraise and bring the warehouse up to code.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Derick showed up about two hours late, and when it came to talking about what we wanted to talk about, he scoffed,\" Bouchard testified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he moved out of the warehouse three weeks after moving in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of the reason for leaving was emotional as well,\" Bouchard said. \"Derick had started heavily using speed and changing his behavior quite rapidly.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bouchard said he hired an attorney to try to get out of the lease. He said he sent an email to Eva Ng notifying her that the lease conditions were being broken and that she should reclaim the property, but Ng did not agree to terminate the lease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Curtis Briggs, Max Harris' defense attorney, pressed Bouchard on why, if he did not agree with what was happening at the warehouse, he didn't alert authorities. He appears to have made amends with Almena at some point and visited the warehouse several times, the last in August 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You wanted to protect yourself,\" Briggs said in court. \"You didn't take any steps to protect anybody else.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bouchard is scheduled to continue testifying on Monday.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Vega explained \"Tinsel\" is a nickname of Almena's.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors have sought to establish through Vega and other witnesses at \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/12/06/witness-recalls-escape-from-oakland-warehouse-during-ghost-ship-fire/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">preliminary hearings that began on Wednesday\u003c/a> that Almena was in charge of the space, along with his second-in-command and \"creative director,\" Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Vega and two other former residents have pushed back against those labels for the two defendants, instead describing an artists' collective with no clear leader or hierarchy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's just a different system,\" Vega said. \"We didn't have an 'in-charge.' We had a collective. We all did our best.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Ghost Ship resident Jose Avalos testified that Oakland police officers had been to the building multiple times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They came and they helped us evict people who just refused to leave,\" Avalos said. He also said an OPD officer would occasionally stop by the warehouse \"to check on us\" and was friendly with Almena.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vega said the Satya Yuga art collective -- another name for the community at the warehouse -- grew \"organically.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This had become way more of an Oakland art movement that just landed on us,\" she said. The residents swelled to more than 20 people in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vega began crying when Lim asked her about Peter Wadsworth, the only Ghost Ship resident to die in the fire. The other 35 people who died were attending a concert on Dec. 2, 2016, when the building caught fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He died a horrible death,\" Vega said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Avalos and Vega testified that they both gave money to Harris in exchange for living at the warehouse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I would bring it to Max and he would just hold it,\" she said, stating that she initially paid $250 and had last paid $1,400. \"That's not like a fun job. It's full of drama and melodrama. Max was just such a sweetie pie.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Lim asked her who invited her to live in the space, Vega answered, \"The art community.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The art community is a living, breathing entity beyond one person,\" she said. \"Artists can rub two nickles together and make a dollar. Artists can make a city.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Satya Yuga: Origin of the Ghost Ship\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nicholas Bouchard testified he had a very different vision for the space when he co-signed a lease with Almena and Eva Ng, building owner Chor Ng's daughter, in late 2012. Max Harris didn't join the group until two years later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bouchard said he was part of the Satya Yuga art collective along with Almena and six or seven other people who set out to start a community center, which would eventually host after-school programs in addition to art and music events. The group moved a few RV's into the warehouse and immediately started living there, in violation of the lease conditions. He said he believed Eva Ng was aware people would be living in the warehouse, though.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But soon after signing the lease, he and Almena had a falling out, Bouchard said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Most of the decision making was done by Derick (Almena) at that time,\" he testified. \"There was the tendency for plans to change depending on what Derick wanted.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That included cutting a large hole in the second floor, Bouchard said. He called a meeting of the group and invited his mother for advice on how to fundraise and bring the warehouse up to code.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Derick showed up about two hours late, and when it came to talking about what we wanted to talk about, he scoffed,\" Bouchard testified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he moved out of the warehouse three weeks after moving in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of the reason for leaving was emotional as well,\" Bouchard said. \"Derick had started heavily using speed and changing his behavior quite rapidly.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bouchard said he hired an attorney to try to get out of the lease. He said he sent an email to Eva Ng notifying her that the lease conditions were being broken and that she should reclaim the property, but Ng did not agree to terminate the lease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Curtis Briggs, Max Harris' defense attorney, pressed Bouchard on why, if he did not agree with what was happening at the warehouse, he didn't alert authorities. He appears to have made amends with Almena at some point and visited the warehouse several times, the last in August 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You wanted to protect yourself,\" Briggs said in court. \"You didn't take any steps to protect anybody else.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bouchard is scheduled to continue testifying on Monday.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
