You never know what goes on behind closed doors. Even celebrities endure domestic abuse. They're humans just like us. Today's episode touches a little bit on the issue of abuse and how actress and singer Keke Palmer took a stand to say #nomore in her relationship, when she recently filed for a personal protection order against her son's father Darius Jackson as well as filed for sole primary custody of her baby. In a world of dating, especially now days, there is so much craziness going on. How do we get back to the norm? And will that ever be possible? Tune in as I briefly discuss Keke's story as well as share some portions of my own story.

Tonight I am speaking with my mom, Karen R. Lewis, who is not only the Founder of our nonprofit KRAT House of Angels which helps women who are victims of domestic violence, but she is also a three time author of the books No More, Confessions, and Confessions II. We're discussing the topic of men and their advocacy support behind domestic violence awareness. Are there many men out here helping to rase awareness for this cause? If not, why not? How can we get more men involved to show a more positive side that not all men are abusers and that there are men out here who care about victims being abused in their domestic relationships and will stand up for the cause? Tune into the conversation and after the episode leave your comments on the Spotify app. We want to know what listeners think about this episode and provide any feedback you feel may be helpful for the cause. Also, as an added bonus...we have a poll listed in this episode for you to take and let us know if you think more men should get involved in advocating for domestic violence victims. Don't worry, this is a safe space and all of your answers are confidential. Let's come together as one and take a stand for the cause and the movement. #nomoredomesticviolence
