Look, the whole, “What happens in this house, stays in this house!,” mentality is LITERALLY killing us. This episode, we’ll unpack the impact of domestic abuse and violence within Black relationships, the impact it has on the community as a whole, and what we as a people can do to cut that shit out. Learn about healthier ways to process, the reality of the safety implications for folks in this unfortunate circumstance, and how to give yourself permission to treat yourself with kindness as you find peace in understanding. Here’s a little about our special guest, Shavonne Fuller, MA: Shavonne R. Fuller is a student at Adler University in Chicago, IL (her home town) pursuing her doctorate in clinical psychology. Shavonne has clinical experience in community mental health but has a passion for working with students within college counseling settings. Currently, Shavonne works at University of Houston at Clearlake as a Contract therapist where she provides individual and group counseling, case management, and crisis services. Shavonne’s clinical and personal interest are exploring messages that have contributed to the perpetuation of domestic violence within the black women population. Her goal is to help develop more culturally appropriate interventions and programming to help eradicate this phenomenon tackling legislation, policy, and community barriers.
