This video was very tough to write and work on, but I'm glad it's finally complete. Let's address the history of black women and intimate partner violence by examining the structural, cultural, and situational layers that make the problem so widespread. I fully expect this video to make people uncomfortable, and even downright hostile. Please share and comment when I share on twitter/youtube tomorrow. Thank you!
