Knowledge is power, and education is the key to breaking cycles of trauma, silence, and misinformation. That’s why I created the Educate, Don’t Perpetuate Campaign—a movement dedicated to raising awareness about sexual abuse in the Black community, sparking conversations, and driving real change.
What is the Educate, Don’t Perpetuate Campaign? This initiative is designed to challenge the generational silence surrounding sexual abuse, particularly in Black families and communities. Too often, these painful experiences are dismissed, ignored, or swept under the rug, leaving survivors without the support they need to heal. The Educate, Don’t Perpetuate Campaign is here to change that by providing education, resources, and safe spaces for conversations about breaking the cycle of abuse and silence.
Why This Matters: For far too long, sexual abuse has been a taboo topic in many Black households. Cultural norms, fear, and shame have contributed to survivors suffering in silence, while abusers remain protected. This campaign is about shifting that narrative—about acknowledging the pain, advocating for healing, and ensuring that future generations do not have to endure the same trauma. By fostering open dialogue and empowering individuals with knowledge, we can help survivors find their voice and prevent further harm.

Together, We Can Make a Difference The Educate, Don’t Perpetuate Campaign isn’t just about raising awareness—it’s about taking action. If we want to see change in our communities, we must be intentional about educating ourselves, breaking cycles of silence, and supporting survivors.
