Domestic violence is a pattern of abuse which can be either physical, s*xual, economic and/or psychological used to get control and maintain control over an intimate partner. It's important to know that you do not deserve to be abused, nor are you responsible for the abuse. The following are just a few examples of types of abuse that are common:

1. Physical Abuse - Pushing, hitting, choking, kicking, biting or threatening you with a weapon.

2. Psychological Abuse - Isolating you from your friends and family or threatening to take your children away from you.

3. Economic Abuse - Refusing to give you money for food, clothing or supporting your children.

4. Sexual Abuse - Forcing you to have s*x when you do not want to and/or making you have s*x with other people.

What a powerful and fulfilling weekend!

Our founder Ladonna Roberts had the honor of speaking at two domestic violence awareness events with two amazing organizations National Hook-Up of Black Women, Inc. and Community Unification Initiatives. It was inspiring to connect with so many strong voices and advocates dedicated to breaking cycles of abuse and empowering survivors.

To top it all off, she wrapped up at the Tickled Past Pink 10-Year Celebration Comedy Show the perfect way to end on laughter, love, and community!

Grateful for every opportunity to raise awareness, and stand in solidarity.
