BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! 🎮 SIXTH ANNUAL CHILDREN’S AWARENESS BLOCK PARTY EVENT 🍔

💥 BREAKING THE SILENCE, SMASHING BARRIERS! 💥 We are crashing through the barriers of isolation and silence to bring our community together for a life-changing event. Did you know that according to federal child maltreatment data reported by the U.S. Administration for Children and Families, an estimated 532,228 children were confirmed victims of abuse or neglect in a single year? That means nearly 7 out of every 1,000 children are facing a crisis right now. Even more devastating, neglect makes up nearly 79% of these cases, while physical abuse accounts for another 19%. This isn't just a national statistic—it's happening right in our own neighborhoods, affecting our children’s mental health, education, and futures. But we have the power to break the cycle.

“Everything you are comes from your choices.” — Jeff Bezos

💜Do you have a choice? Yes….Decision Types:

💜One-Way vs. Two-Way Doors

🦋Two-way doors: Most decisions are reversible. If you walk through and do not like what you see, you can turn around and come back. Make these quickly.

🦋One-way doors: Some choices are monumental and hard to reverse. Treat these with extreme care, analysis, and deliberation.

It’s a really good morning to start fresh and here is one really great point, We’ve heard the term people pleaser…..well, to every victim/survivor are you perpetrator pleasing? Truth be told, you cannot find your true self while you are busy managing your abuser's emotions."

💜 When you keep saying, yes, I’ll stay to your perpetrator. You say no to your healthy future because “You can please some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time." – John Lydgate

💜Why Perpetrator- Pleasing Drains You:

💜Loss of self: You spend all your time meeting the demands of your perpetrator while you remain unhealthy.

💜Exhaustion: Trying to satisfy your violator and that leaves you feeling empty.

💜False control: You think pleasing keeps you safe from rejection or you can change them by remaining unsafe.

🦋How to Stop Pleasing the perpetrator:

🦋Say no: Practice using the word "no" without feeling guilty.

🦋Set limits: Decide what you can give before you feel drained.

🦋Put yourself first: Accept that your needs matter just as much.

🦋Let’s close this thought with this, No might make them angry, but it will make you free." – Nayyirah Waheed

Freedom is loving yourself enough to take one step into your own path and that step makes you capable enough to take two steps towards a healthier future.

Good morning. Please share this with anyone you know that keeps repeating the same old story called…. I keep walking into abusive relationships!

Sometimes people often take life for granted. I woke up this morning to emails letting me know that people were registering for THE COCOON PHASE: Abuse Anonymous Support Groups.

Then, the profound revelation emerged from observing a pervasive and deeply entrenched societal issue. It became undeniably clear that after the shelter process, countless individuals, particularly women, remain ensnared in the insidious cycle of abuse – their emotional, physical, and psychological well-being held captive by its relentless grip.

Consider the harrowing journey of a survivor emerging from a shelter. While physically removed from immediate danger, the absence of a comprehensive support system, a genuine "lifeline," often leaves them vulnerable. This critical void can tragically lead to a re-entry into abusive patterns, inadvertently placing their children at continued risk as new perpetrators infiltrate their homes. The cycle, unless fundamentally disrupted, perpetuates itself across generations.

This struggle transcends superficial markers of success or identity. We recognized that individuals can meticulously uphold an outward facade of normalcy, diligently attending work each day, yet return nightly to the very same destructive cycle of abuse. This reality holds true irrespective of their economic standing, professional achievements, or ethnic background. The silent torment knows no social boundaries.

Furthermore, the illusion of community or spiritual solace often fails to break these chains. A person can faithfully attend religious services week after week, participating actively in communal rituals, and yet the deep-seated patterns of abuse accompany them home. Disturbingly, many victims, and even those around them, may remain entirely oblivious to the true nature of their predicament, mistaking their suffering for an inescapable personal burden rather than a systemic issue that demands intervention and genuine support.

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜……A massive thank you to all our incredible speakers! As we draw closer to October, a month traditionally marked by various important awareness campaigns, our hearts are also drawn to a deeply critical, yet often under-recognized, societal challenge. While we commend the dedicated efforts for causes like cancer awareness, we observe a significant void in the collective acknowledgment and active support for abuse/domestic violence advocacy.

It is this profound need that compels us to unite. We are enthusiastically planning an impactful assembly, specifically designed to galvanize the body of believers. Our intention is not only to foster a deeper understanding of the struggles faced by victims and the vital work of advocates but also to ignite a powerful spiritual awakening within our community.
This gathering will serve as a catalyst, empowering us to translate our faith into tangible action, providing much-needed support, and becoming unwavering voices for justice and healing.
Together, we aim to make a transformative difference, shedding light on this crucial issue and contributing to a safer, more compassionate world for all.
