For years, Michelle was trapped in the domestic abuse cycle. She walked on eggshells around her partner, suffered his violent blowups, and tried to believe his apologies. Instead of being accountable, her abuser worked to keep Michelle isolated and silent. In December of 2015, she summoned the strength to break that cycle, leave her abuser, and share her story. Now, Michelle works to combat domestic and gender-based violence on a global scale as the founder and CEO of Unsilenced Voices. www.unsilencedvoices.com TEXT "UNITE" TO 26786 -SHOW NOTES- 00:30 - Introduction 04:06 - My Story of domestic violence 07:00 - Making Inroads In Africa 08:26 - Why are we not talking about gender-based violence. 10:15 - Survivors must use their voices 15:00 - Rehabilitation can happen for abusers 17:30 - What is your life worth? 19:30 - What are the safe places you can speak up? 23:50 - What's your first step to leaving? 29:00 - Your kids see it all. 30:43 - Resources are there for children? 35;00 - It's by telling your story we can change the narrative 36:00 - TEXT “Unite” to 26786 39:35 - One person can make a difference 40:40 - What's the responsibility of the observer?
