On this week's episode of Titillating Talks with Tiphany, I bring you in on an important conversation about minority women and domestic violence that I am having with my good friend, Maida Garcia.

Maida helps me to understand the issue of domestic violence and intimate partner abuse from the lens of the minority community. She explains that too many times when a woman of color reports a domestic abuse crime, her reports go ignored. Likewise, when a woman of color goes missing, her disappearance rarely makes the news. We discuss how cultural views & a lens of privilege often creates an environment where women of color are not seen as victims that need to be helped and supported.

October is both Domestic Violence Awareness Month & Hispanic Heritage Month. Now is the time to amplify voices of women of color and shine a light on the problem of domestic violence in their community.

The following organizations provide support to women of color:
Esperanza United- mobilizes Latinas &Latinx communities to end gender-based violence
National Domestic violence Hotline- Free, confidential help is only a phone call away 24/7
BELatina- News, entertainment, lifestyle for Latina's
Women of Color Network- Centralizes the voices, wellness, and leadership of women of color

To celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month and to immerse yourself in the culture, Maida recommends these books:
- Like Water For Chocolate by Laura Esquivel
-Rain of Gold by Victor Villasenor
- The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros
-100 years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
-Bless Me Ultima byRudolfo Anaya
- Any book written by Isabelle Allende- there are too many good ones to list
- Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter by Erika Sanchez
-Fat Chance Charlie Vega by Crystal Maldonado
-Of Women and Salt by Gabriela Garcia
-My Broken Language by Quiara Alegria Hudes
- Colonize This by Daisy Hernandez
