If first Q aka Quentin Walcott about 4 years ago. And like most real human beings you know that from day one. I interviewed him for a documentary I was doing called Innovators of Change which was a compilation of leaders making a difference in the black community in real time. Since then we've stayed in touch and even helped each other projects to uplift the community. On this episode, he shared with me his journey in working with women, men and young men that deal with domestic violence, and of course all thing dope about him.

With Father's Day just around the corner, I connected with my fellow gender-violence against and brother in the movement, Quentin "Q" Walcott, Co-Executive Director of CONNECT to learn about CONNECT's 7th Annual Father's Day Pledge to End Violence. During our exchange, we explored the following: -the role of men in ending violence against women -how Black boys are conditioned toward stereotypical notions of masculinity, and how can we shift to new behaviors and attitudes -the buffers that parents provide to protect against the impacts of -systemic violence on Black male behaviors and attitudes -tips for parents to challenge traditional gender roles in our homes with our children For a special treat, Q blessed us at the conclusion of the call with a spoken word piece entitled "ManCHILD" in addition to reciting pieces from the Father's Day Pledge Against Violence. To learn more about the Father's Day pledge and how you can engage boys and men in your community please visit www.connectnyc.org or on twitter @CONNECT_NYC.

1 in 3 women are killed every day by their spouse or former partner. NYC's Domestic Violence Hotlines get more than 310 calls per day. Sally MacNichol and Quentin Walcott, co-executive directors of CONNECT, talk about their outreach programs.

Domestic violence has long been categorized as a women’s issue that the occasional “good man” gets involved with, and probably only because he was forced into it. To make matters worse, popular culture diminishes the seriousness of the problem. If 1 in 4 women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime, and 1 in 3 women experience intimate partner violence on college campuses, how is it we haven’t declared on war on domestic violence yet?  How did we get to this woeful place where 1.3 million women are victims of physical assault by an intimate partner each year, and how do we create a cultural shift in how domestic violence is perceived? Domestic violence will not stop until we engage men and youth in the conversation.Join women’s workplace rights advocates Jack Tuckner and Deborah O’Rell as they are joined by their special guests Quentin Walcott and Sara Gonzalez. Quentin is an anti-violence activist and educator, and as a Co-Executive Director of CONNECT  he has spent years transforming the distorted perception of bystanders, male youth, and even batterers about the seriousness of this crime. Sara is the  Community Educator at Day One  where she works with youth to address intimate partner violence and issues of consent, and she also provides trainings for adults who work with youth, so that they’re better prepared to deal with the issue of Teen Dating Violence.  It is critical that men, mothers, brothers, sisters and friends unite to effect meaningful change to the culture of violence against women. Listen the their incisive, warm and authentic voices as they describe the massive value they add to addressing the root causes of domestic violence.www.connectnyc.orgwww.dayoneny.orgwww.dayoneny.org/staff-leadership/www.connectnyc.org/content/connect-staff
