S2E19: Black Love - What is Really Going On In Our Relationships ?(DV in the Black Community)

This episode will discuss the impact of domestic violence in the black community, highlighting the abuse and tragic loss of life of black females (greater than all women as a whole) at the hands of their partners.

Come listen and learn about this issue in a transparent, vulnerable conversation. We will discuss possible causes and ways to work towards a reduction of these alarming statistics. We welcome Nick Moore, host of Forbidden Fruit Podcast Wonderland to discuss the frightening trend in our communities that must be addressed.

The world is a wonderland...the same one Alice found herself in. Everything is distorted and nothing appears real, while the fakest thing can feel like the most authentic experience.

The podcast will take a look at how our perceptions of ourselves and the world around us impact how we relate to one another. With a male and female perspective from guests in different fields and life experiences, we aim to use real-world examples of how the looking glass self-theory has an impact on all relationships. We will address societal, cultural, and mental health concepts in everyday terms as we work towards personal growth that allows us to build authentic relationships and attract connections meant for us.

While there may have been mental health concepts discussed, this podcast is not meant to be a substitute for diagnosis or mental health care. If anything in this episode triggered you, please seek the care of a professional mental health provider in your area.
