⚠️ Sensitive Content: Discussions on domestic violence and abuse.

As we recognize Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October, we are joined by Shamara Kelly with Sisters in Purple, a collective comprised of survivor/thriver-led domestic violence organizations and advocacy groups advocating to make laws and strengthen policies and practices to prevent abuse and protect victims, survivors, thrivers, and their families.
