BLACK BUSINESS SHOUT OUT : Built not bought Insta: bnb_wear Website: bnbathletic.com. October is Domestic Violence Awareness month and I wanted to use this episode to highlight this. I know Domestic violence is very taboo and not talked enough about . This is a big problem because people accept Domestic violence and abuse as a form of love, which is not ok. kids and adults need to be taught it is NEVER ok for someone to be Abusive verbally, mentally or physically. There this narrative that Love hurt and we should accept abuse because it will get better and that’s never the case as I learnt the hard way when I was 16. I accepted domestic abuse from my boyfriend for 3 years all alone. I did have anyone to talk to or have anyone to help me. It’s a sad fact that people do see domestic abuse as a form of love or glorified domestic abuse, I’ve heard a lot of people say “ if he/she doesn’t put their hands on me , they doesn’t love me “ and that’s not ok because we having soo many abuser get away with doing this because we was taught any better. Well it’s ends TODAY , LOVE DOESN’T HURT , degrade you , mentally abuse you, verbally abuse you or physically abuse you. It’s better to be alone than have this type of love. If anyone listening to this Podcast is in a currently abusive relationship, please be strong and walk away because it doesn’t get better it only get worst and you will only really continue to destroy yourself. I know you may believe your at you rock bottom and don’t deserve better. You’re WRONG you do and you will, when your at the bottoms there no where else to go but up. I know it’s hard but you’ll get there just believe in yourself, not what he or she is telling you, tell yourself I DESERVE BETTER, I AM LOVED, I’M SPECIAL, I CAN DO THIS and you’ll get there. You’ll look back at that lesson and be so proud of yourself , because it was you that put yourself up and brought you self into a better place . No one else but you and you’ll see that you was strong enough. I know it will be hard but I believe in you and it’s time for you to believe in yourself. I LOVE YOU , YOU’RE SMART, YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL, YOU’RE KIND , YOU HAVE VALUE, YOU’RE WORTHY, YOU’RE LOVE AND YOU DESERVE HAPPINESS .
