Dating violence is a quiet crisis impacting Black youth and families—one that’s often hidden behind stigma, mistrust, and a desire to “keep business in the house.” In this episode, the BVBOE cast engages in a raw and culturally grounded conversation about dating violence, how it shows up in our lives, the real stories that haunt us, and what healing could look like when we start telling the truth.

We discuss the tragic local cases , and explore the broader challenges—from being dismissed or disbelieved, to feeling stuck between silence and survival. This episode is not just a warning—it’s a call to protect, support, and love each other better.
