I’ve carried this story with me for years, and sharing it publicly is not something I take lightly.

During my senior year at Howard University, I experienced intimate partner violence. What happened changed me, and for a long time, I kept the details to myself. I didn’t tell my family everything until ten years later.

I’m sharing this now because I know I’m not the only person who has experienced something like this and struggled with what to do with it afterward.

I want to talk about what happened, what I’ve learned, and why the prevention and access to support work @hbcugolftournament is doing matters.

This is the first part of a story I’ve never fully shared here. 💜

Content note: This video discusses intimate partner violence.

If this is part of your story, too, you don’t owe the internet your details. Take what you need from this conversation and protect your peace.

Thank you for sharing and I pray that All learn that abuse is unacceptable in any relationship. I view people who abuse people as weak and I detest them and their behavior. Continued blessings to you and I'm glad you are able to share. I pray that others will unite and condemn abusive relationships and that the abusers change or are penalized for their abusive acts. 🫶🏽❣️🌹

You are not alone. I am so thankful it only took one incident for me to wake up to all the other major red flags.
