Two Things Can Be True

Unpack with us - what’s your take on things?Episode 15: Black Women Femicide in America - Part 2Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of domestic violence and femicide. Resources are available at the end of this episode and linked below.In the last few weeks, three Black women made headlines for the worst possible reason. Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer Bowen. Pastor Tammy McCollum. Dr. Cerina Fairfax. Three accomplished, beloved, extraordinary women — killed by the men who were supposed to love them. In this episode, we go beyond the headlines and into the harder conversation. The one about victim blaming in the comments. The one about “choose a godly man” and “stop dating thugs” and “be a wife first” — and how every single one of those women did everything our community told them to do. And still lost their lives. This isn’t just a news recap. This is a reckoning. And we think it’s one that’s long overdue.RESOURCES: National Domestic Violence Hotline — Call or text 1-800-799-7233 or visit thehotline.orgCrisis Text Line — Text START to 741741Black Women’s Blueprint — blackwomensblueprint.orgLove Is Respect — Call or text 1-866-331-9474 or visit loveisrespect.org
