Cry Loud Spare Not Speak Up, Inc. serves women and young girls in Richmond, VA and surrounding areas

Cry Loud is an organization and ministry birthed in the heart of Shirley Scarborough in memory of her daughter, Francesca Harris-Scarborough, who was murdered while being engaged in an abusive relationship. The objective of this ministry/organization is to educate, mentor, and provide resources to young women suffering from domestic violence and abusive relationships in silence. Our goal is to encourage women to speak up and spare not their abusers. We aspire to encourage women to know their self-worth by helping them to build self-confidence, self-love, and self-esteem and embrace their individual beauty. We will accomplish this through speaking engagements, educational workshops, classes, informative and local resources, seminars, conferences, and promotional products.

💜 Recognize the pattern. Know the red flags 🚩.

Abuse can follow a repeating pattern that leaves you feeling afraid, confused, and hopeful that things will change:

➡️ Tension builds: Criticism, threats, or intimidation increase. You may feel like you’re “walking on eggshells,” carefully choosing your words to avoid their reaction.

➡️ Abuse occurs: The person causes harm through physical violence, sexual coercion, humiliation, threats, financial control, or digital monitoring.

➡️ Reconciliation follows: They may apologize, give gifts, promise to change, minimize what happened, or blame you for their behavior.

➡️ Apparent calm returns: Things may seem better for a while, but controlling behavior can continue—and the harm may happen again.

🚩 Red flags to look out for:

• Repeated apologies and promises followed by the same harmful behavior.
• Statements like “You made me do it” or “You’re too sensitive.”
• Controlling your money, transportation, work, or decisions.
• Keeping you away from friends, family, or other support.
• Demanding passwords, tracking your location, or checking your phone to control you.
• Extreme jealousy, accusations, or possessiveness.
• Threatening you, your children, pets, or people you love.
• Pressuring or forcing sexual activity.
• Feeling afraid to say no, set boundaries, or express yourself.

Abuse does not always follow these stages. Some stages may overlap or never happen. You do not have to experience physical violence—or wait for the pattern to repeat—to seek support.

An apology does not erase abuse. Peaceful moments do not excuse harm. And someone else’s choice to abuse you is never your fault.

You deserve safety, respect, and the freedom to be yourself. 💜

Host Shirley Scarborough opened up an honest conversation on “Blinded By Love: Ignoring What I Should Have Seen”—a topic that invites us to reflect on what we overlook, explain away, or hope will change when we love someone.

Watch with an open heart and remember: recognizing something differently today is an opportunity to grow, not a reason to blame yourself.
