TW⚠️: abuse
the ugly truth is that violence and abuse is normalized in our country and mental health is looked down upon. during february of this year, tiara and i openly discussed this reoccurring issue by looking at it through victims’ perspectives, breaking generational trauma, understanding short & long term effects, and emphasizing the importance of empathy. ultimately, hoping to shift our society’s mindsets and stop this stigma.

EDUCATE YOURSELF! expose yourself and broaden your knowledge on the issue:
if you are a bystander to violence/abuse, lend an ear to willingly listen to victims and understand their situation, offer specific help, and continuously be supportive. when someone tells you this is “none of your business,” tell them otherwise. make it your business! take action; it could save a life.
