Born with A Raised Fist

My mother, Valerie Wilson, joins me for a conversation about her experiences parenting my brother, Hashim, and me while navigating loss with a fierce determination to survive.

In this conversation, my mother and I discuss her experiences with societal, community, and domestic violence. Please take care as you listen and if you or someone you love is experiencing intimate partner violence, please contact https://www.thehotline.org for support and resources.

If you are feeling overwhelmed by the violence in our world, please ensure you are seeking the mental health support that is best for you.Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
