Does anyone watch or happen to scroll by Dee lashay, I don’t what it is about negative black content that get ppl going but honestly I’m tired of it. I get talking about it to bring awareness and trying help but it’s past that. At this point going live about it and letting other races that do the same exact thing get their 2 cents in is ridiculous. It’s like you only get a lot of viewers when you talk shit about black folks or anyone negative

April has been a brutal and horrendous month of violence against Black women by their partners and in one case by her son.

We need to have this conversation about the safety of our sisters and the harm that comes from the Black men in their lives.
