Beverly Gooden delves into intimate partner violence using an intersectional lens. She describes how racism and sexism are the biggest obstacles for black women, how the American history of brutal violence towards black people contributes to non-reporting, and how the silence regarding intimate partner violence in the black community sends a negative message to black women – that their lives do not matter.

Join Beverly Gooden, an African American advocate, writer and social activist in domestic violence and founder of the movement #WhyIStay, to combat domestic violence and how to find your voice in speaking out. Please RSVP for this workshop by clicking on the registration link listed above.
