As the news of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ alleged abuse of Cassie Ventura broke, our hearts sank. Another instance of domestic violence, another woman suffering in silence. But today, we say enough is enough.
Domestic violence is a pandemic that affects millions of women worldwide. It’s a silent killer, hiding behind closed doors and masked by societal expectations. But we refuse to be silent. We refuse to let our sisters suffer alone. Leaving an abusive relationship is never easy. It takes courage, strength, and support. But we want you to know that you’re not alone. You’re part of a sisterhood that understands, that cares, and that’s here to help.
First, let’s acknowledge the signs of domestic violence. It’s not just physical; it’s emotional, verbal, and financial. It’s the constant belittling, the gaslighting, and the control. If you’re experiencing any of these, know that you’re not to blame. Now, let’s talk about leaving. It’s a process, and it’s okay to take your time. Start by reaching out to a trusted friend, family member, or hotline (1-800-799-7233). Create a safety plan, including a safe place to stay and a support system.
You don’t have to put up with anyone’s mess, no matter who they are. It’s not about being strong or weak; its about knowing you deserve better.
But leaving is just the beginning. Healing takes time, patience, and love. Surround yourself with positive influences, practice self-care, and seek professional help when needed. You deserve to thrive, not just survive. On the TechMae app we are creating a sisterhood that’s here to support you every step of the way. We’re building a community that uplifts, empowers, and connects women. We’re breaking the silence and sparking a dialogue on domestic violence inside our community.
Join us in this movement.
Share your story, listen to others, and let’s rise together. Remember, you’re not alone, and you’re worthy of love, respect, and freedom.
