Declining This Rose: Why The Bachelor Franchise Needs A Clean Up

It’s time for reality TV to get, well, real. The most recent season of The Bachelorette has exhausted me. I’ve been pretty uncomfortable, angry, and generally disenchanted with the faux-romance constructed by this highly edited narrative. There’s been too much negativity to bear: the abruptness of Clare Crawley’s departure, the swooning over Dale, how she manipulated the rest of the men in the house, Bennet’s draining belittling and unfortunate surprise return…

Advocacy For Racial Equity Can’t End With Domestic Violence Awareness Month: No Survivor Justice Without Racial Justice

Over the last several months, the Black Lives Matter movement has preempted a national conversation on race. The deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, among many others, have created an overwhelming demand to recognize institutionalized racism. Young peoples’ calls for equity have dominated newsfeeds and socials – with many posts including references to the Civil Rights Movement. Youth across America, especially young Black people, have come out to fight against racially-motivated police brutality – and all forms of violence perpetrated against black bodies across the U.S.

Why I Vote

I vote because I can! I vote every year in elections big and small, and I bring my daughter with me! I am at a unique age, young enough to never have been denied the right to vote as a black woman, but old enough to hear my grandparents and great grandparents tell me about a time they could not vote. I was taught to never take a right to vote for granted.

Statement On Breonna Taylor

Since 2003, Day One has been working with young people to end dating abuse and domestic violence. Our hearts go out to her family and friends experiencing this level of disregard on top of their loss. We are heartbroken and furious that her killers will not be held accountable.

Manipulation, Gaslighting, And Psychological Attacks: Understanding Emotional Abuse

A recent survey of college-aged survivors of domestic violence revealed a surprising fact: even though they had all been in abusive relationships, as many as 70% of them did not know at the time that their relationship was abusive. The experience of the survey participants was not unique. Oftentimes, domestic violence is characterized as physical or sexual abuse. However, there are many ways one partner may attempt to control the other, and not all of them are easily identifiable. Last month, we shared a blog post about tech abuse. Today, we’ll be unpacking the concept of emotional abuse.
