Join me as I speak with Jalesa Tucker, Marketing and Communications Coordinator for the One Love Foundation, about the One Love Foundation and its advocacy against relationship abuse, the signs of unhealthy and healthy relationships, and SO MUCH MORE!
The One Love Foundation is dedicated to improving the relationship health of future generations. The non-profit organization has educated more than 1.15 million young people through educational workshops, both in-person and online, by teaching them the signs of unhealthy and healthy relationship behaviors. One Love was founded in honor of Yeardley Love, a 22-year old college student whose life was tragically cut short when she was killed by her ex-boyfriend. Her family learned during the trial that her death could have been prevented had they recognized the signs of an abusive relationship. For more information, visit joinonelove.org.
