Abstract
Today, I write, train, consult, and lecture internationally on interpersonal violence and sexual assault, with a special focus on violence among African American women. I am deeply devoted to creating inspirational material to empower domestic violence/sexual assault survivors during their healing journey, delivering keynote addresses, conducting workshops, and customizing innovative training material to educate and equip professionals with the skills to provide culturally sensitive services. In that spirit, I will provide a brief overview of IPV in the lives of African American women, discuss what social justice looks like in theory, and end with practical applications for treatment interventions.
