HOUSE TALK w/Dr. Lauren D. Pitts on Black Women Dealing with Abuse

This Thursday May 9th on HOUSE TALK we’re peeling back the layers on Black Women Dealing with Abuse…Black women face high rates of intimate partner violence, rape, and homicide. Black girls and women also experience institutionalized racism; they are disproportionately punished in school, funneled into the criminal justice system after surviving physical or sexual abuse, disproportionately subjected to racial profiling and police brutality, and incarcerated at rates far exceeding their share of the population. We’re getting into the trenches this week and we want to hear from you – so call us live during the show with your comments and questions (515) 605-9744!
