ALERT: Red Flags for Teens! 🚩📱

Relationships should make you feel safe, valued, and respected—not trapped, anxious, or controlled. Sometimes, unhealthy behaviors can sneak in early, disguised as "caring" or "love," but they are actually major warning signs.

Are you or a friend experiencing any of these in a relationship?

Constant Monitoring: Checking your phone or DMs constantly.

Isolation: Trash-talking your friends or family to make you feel bad about seeing them.

Urgency/Pressure: Getting mad if you can't text them back immediately.

Control: Trying to control what you wear or who you talk to at school.

Disrespect: Making fun of you in front of other people.

Emotional Manipulation: Using threats like, "If you leave, I'll hurt myself."

Your feelings are valid. This is not what a healthy relationship looks like. You never have to go through it alone, and help is available.

💬 Need someone to talk to? Call the National Domestic Violence Hotline open 24/7 - 1 (800) 799-7233

KNOW THE SIGNS. Break the Silence. 🛑💜

Recognizing the warning signs of unhealthy behavior is the first step toward safety and healing. Domestic violence isn't always physical—it often starts with subtle, controlling behaviors that chip away at your freedom and self-trust.

Some crucial red flags to look out for include:

Isolation: Making you feel cut off from your friends or family.

Intrusion: Constant checking of your phone or location.

Manipulation: Using gaslighting to make you question your own memory.

Control: Jealousy that feels suffocating and controlling.

You Are Not Alone. Help is always available, and support is just a call or text away.

All praise, honor, and glory belong to God. He saved me for a divine purpose: to be a vessel used to help eradicate domestic violence from our community.
I am deeply humbled and incredibly honored to have been recognized at the East Flatbush Village - Rooted in Community, Honoring Our Foundation Award Ceremony.

A heartfelt thank you to Eric Waterman and Assemblymember Monique Chandler-Waterman for this incredible platform and honor. Special thanks as well to Dionne Davis for your invaluable support, and to every single soldier standing firm in the fight against violence.

This is only the beginning—there is much more to come!

Knowing the early warning signs is the first step to staying safe or helping someone you love. Abuse isn’t always physical; it can be emotional, verbal, or digital.
Isolation, control, and mood swings are not signs of love. They are signs of abuse. Let’s create a community that knows the red flags and knows how to get help. If you or someone you know needs support, confidential resources are available 24/7. Text "START" to 88788.

KNICKS IN FIVE!!! CONGRATULATIONS NEW YORK!!!

06/10/2026

WE WON! The Survivors First Act has passed the New York State Legislature, marking a major win for survivors across the state. This bill is a huge step toward ensuring that ALL survivors can access the support they need to heal. Big Thank you to Assemblymember Monique Chandler-Waterman for leading the charge and fighting the fine fight for us survivors. Our showing up for Gun Violence Awareness Month Advocacy kick off day, year after year, was not in vain.

The Survivors First Act:
Eliminates New York's Office of Victim Services' contributory conduct determinations that unfairly blame survivors for the harm they experienced and have been disproportionately used to deny Black survivors victim compensation. No survivor should be blamed for their own trauma, and the Survivors First Act is a step towards fixing that.

Protects private donations to survivors, so that money raised through church fundraisers or crowdfunding campaigns can no longer be used to reduce or deny their victim compensation. Survivors should not be punished for receiving support from their community, and this bill will help ensure survivors can access donations AND the victim compensation they’re entitled to.

Increases public awareness of victim compensation by requiring the program to actively promote the existence of victim compensation benefits and publicly report data about whether the program is working. This will help ensure that the program is actually reaching the people it’s intended to help.

The Survivors First Act moves us closer to a system that puts healing first. Thank you to every advocate, survivor, family member, and supporter who took action and contacted their legislators to urge them to listen to survivors. Next, the bill heads to Governor Hochul’s desk to be signed into law. This is a huge win, but our work isn’t over yet.
