Tune in to 'Connections' with Evan Dawson today to hear Willow's President and CEO Meaghan de Chateauvieux and George Payne, one of Willow's case managers. According to the Women of Color Network, approximately four out of every ten non-Hispanic Black women have experienced rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner. Racial disparities in economics, education, criminal justice as well as cultural factors contribute to those rates. They also lead t...o challenges when it comes to victims seeking and accessing support services. This hour, we discuss how racial disparities and social determinants affect rates of domestic violence, and our guests weigh in on what they would like to see in terms of support and resources. Joined in studio by Kesha Carter, Chief Diversity Officer for Coordinated Care Services, Inc. and Geena Cruz, CEO of Heels of Greatness. https://www.wxxinews.org/programs/connections
