The recent arrest of Sean "Diddy" Combs has brought the issue of domestic violence back into the spotlight, reminding us that abuse can exist even in the most powerful and high-profile relationships.

In this post, we explore the deep-rooted cultural pressures that fuel silence around domestic violence and discuss the urgent need for empowerment, education, and breaking the cycle of trauma. Let's create a future where love is built on respect, not control.
