Black Male Speaks: Dad Busted My Mom’s Head Open (Video)
When I heard this courageous young man’s story of growing up in a household where domestic violence was the norm, I knew I had to share it with you all. He’s strong and shared how he saw his father be violent with his mother on a regular basis. If you want to use a video to get the discussion about domestic violence on the table with males, allow your folks to see this video.
