Abuse doesn't just harm the person being targeted- it can impact parenting, energy, emotional availability, finances, decision-making, and a survivor's sense of safety. Survival mode is not failure. Many mothers are doing the best they can while navigating fear, coercive control, trauma, and impossible circumstances.
If this is your story: what happened to you is not the same as who you are as a parent. Healing matters- for you and for your children. 💜

Sterling K. Brown recently sparked a conversation after his candid comments on the troubling issue of violence against Black women. In a heartfelt interview promoting his film Is God Is, Brown emphasized the alarming rise of femicide within the Black community, drawing attention to how Black women’s lives are too often disregarded or forgotten. While discussing the need for more focus and support for Black women, he expressed frustration at the internal conflicts that sometimes distract the community from these critical issues.
His comments have sparked significant online discussion, with some paraphrasing his words to suggest that Black men and women are “distracted” by their differences, while Black women continue to suffer. However, a deeper look into the interview reveals that Brown’s message was about unity—urging the community to put aside infighting and work together to fight injustice.
This statement calls for reflection on the importance of solidarity within the Black community. It sheds light on how often Black women’s struggles are overlooked, and how the fight for justice should be a collective effort. Brown’s words not only raise awareness of an urgent issue but also challenge us to reflect on how we can create a more supportive and unified movement to tackle systemic violence.
