As Sexual Assault Awareness Month comes to a close, Magic 95.5’s Robyn Simone sat down with the CEO of Ujima: The National Center on Violence Against Women in the Black Community for an important conversation around domestic violence, sexual assault, and the resources available to those impacted.
The discussion comes amid several heartbreaking recent tragedies involving domestic violence, including the devastating case of a Louisana man accused of killing his eight children and more.
Together, they unpacked the harsh realities behind these cases, the statistics surrounding violence in the Black community, and the stigma that often keeps survivors from speaking out or seeking help.
