On this episode, Khadijah and Paulah sit down with Jan Christiansen (Executive Director) and Shenna Morris (Policy & Community Engagement Director) of the Georgia Coalition Against Domestic Violence (GCADV). It is estimated that 40% of Black women will experience intimate partner violence in their lifetime and Black women experience domestic violence at rates 30 to 50% higher than white women. Jan and Shenna tell us all about GCADV’s cross-cutting and innovative programs to address this racial disparity and end domestic violence in the state of Georgia. Rest in peace to Sandra Renee White and Téa Choates, pregnant Black women who were killed by their partners in Georgia this year.
