It's been a HOT MINUTE since I've released a solo episode and now felt like the right time to speak up.
On today's episode, I'm discussing the recent video that came out of Diddy physically assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie. With my own personal experience as a survivor of domestic violence, I was fired up after that video came out.
I share my own thoughts around this entire situation along with the "apology"😒video that Diddy released a couple days later. But more importantly than focusing on so much negativity, I want to share what we as a collective can learn from this situation that so many of us go through on a daily basis.
There is a bigger picture to gain from this very triggering & uncomfortable conversation, so I'm here to talk about it! Remind yourself of this... to truly make an impact, we must #breakthesilence 🗣️ This platform is here to empower survivors to speak out & seek help in a safe community that listens without judgment.
