In this special Battle of the Sexes edition of Black v. The Board of Education, we’re asking the hard question — are we toxic, or just traumatized? 💭

Domestic Violence Awareness Month is the perfect time to unpack the blurred lines between pain and pattern, love and control, healing and harm. Too often, we label behavior without understanding the wounds underneath. In this episode, men and women go head-to-head — and heart-to-heart — about accountability, emotional safety, and what it really takes to break the cycle.

From generational trauma to pop culture’s definition of “ride or die,” nothing’s off-limits. Tune in as we peel back the layers, challenge assumptions, and remind each other that love shouldn’t hurt — and healing is still possible. 💜
