Beverly Gooden, author of Surviving: Why We Stay and How We Leave Abusive Relationships and creator of the viral social media movement #WhyIStayed, joins program host Chris Meek in this edition of Next Steps Forward. Listed as one of the top social change hashtags of 2014 by Forbes and named one of the “top 10 hashtags that started a conversation” by Time magazine, Ms. Gooden will discuss what prompted her to start the hashtag, the immediate reaction to the movement and how the greater dialogue about domestic violence is different today as a result of the hashtag. As someone who understands that it's not always simple or easy to leave and that there can be practical reasons why someone stays, she will walk through some of the reasons that women do choose to stay in abusive relationships and what someone should do to protect themselves from physical violence or even death once they are able to leave an abuser. Ms. Gooden speaks from personal experience and works to reframe the conversation and narrative surrounding abusive relationships, prompting listeners to ask “Why did he hit her in the first place” instead of “Why didn't she leave?”

Content Warning: This episode contains discussions about domestic violence/IPV. This week, author and advocate Beverly Gooden joins the show. Beverly is the creator of the hashtag #WhyIStayed, which highlighted the stories of domestic-violence survivors and her memoir, Surviving: Why We Stay & How We Leave Abusive Relationships. We brought Beverly on the show to shed light on the conversations around domestic violence happening in pop culture. From the new Mike Tyson biopic on Hulu to Megan thee Stallion's ongoing battle with public opinion - we've been inundated with narratives that favor the alleged abuser. We thought it best to amplify the experience of those who are at the receiving end of that harm.

These are the facts: 1 in 4 women globally experience domestic violence. On average, it takes 7 times for most survivors to successfully leave an abusive relationship. But behind the statistics are human beings. One Saturday morning, Beverly Gooden was woken up by her husband shoving her off their bed for no discernible reason. Despite her quick thinking and even quicker footsteps, he caught her, his sudden anger inexplicable. No words were exchanged. He began to strangle her as he had done many times before. With unflinching vulnerability, Gooden details what she had to do to walk away and how others can use her experiences to escape their own abuse. She provides practical advice on things like finances, possessions, and housing—from skimming the grocery money to squirreling away personal belongings, to navigating a domestic violence shelter. As importantly, she offers strategies for overcoming the social and emotional barriers survivors often face, such as overcritical social circles and, most powerfully, love. Uniquely compassionate when it comes to the heartbreak of still loving one's abuser, Gooden shares how she transformed and extended this love outward, using her story to encourage others to choose themselves. The voice and fire behind #WhyIStayed, she's exceptionally positioned to explore the many reasons victims stay in abusive relationships, and how they can muster the resources and motivation to leave.

Jill Golden and Jess Skitzki discuss newsjacking and how it can be great PR for a brand, or a terrible mistake if not executed properly. We discuss some well-known brands including Dunkin Donuts, Kit Kat and KFC and their newsjacking successes with popular events and social trends including the Royal Wedding, the gold and white dress and the Area 51 raid.

Judge Joe Brown Unleashed: The Real Reason Black Folks Should Be Mad | Special Guests: Professor James Smalls and General Jeff Page __PROFESSOR JAMES SMALLS __ Professor James Small is certainly not one to mince words. Best known for serving up controversial outrages, and slices of liberating powers of truth about Afrocentrism, Small is a living legend — a researcher, Pan-Africanist, Black nationalist, and scholar. Since his teen years, Small has made it his life's work to reset thinking, re-educate those who believe in the Eurocentric version of world history. Small's teachings have always centered on how Black Americans should look into the past for their heroic selves. ___________PROFESSOR GENERAL JEFF (The Mayor of Skid Row) ___ For the last decade, General Jeff has been a fierce advocate for the makeshift community that occupies the sidewalks, missions, and low-income housing units of Downtown Los Angeles. Through his efforts, he has become one of the loudest and most recognizable voices for a population that often goes unrecognized._____________LISTEN NOW __The Judge Joe Brown Show, Hosted By Valerie Denise Jones -Friday, 4p EST __ Studio Line: (929) 477-1167 ____ like . share . subscribe . leave a comment https://www.spreaker.com/user/valeriedenisejones____ @judgejoebrowntv __ @valeriedenise

By any measurement you wish to use, Feminism and its causes have never been more prominent than they are today. Over the past few years with the utilization of social media, attention on spousal abuse, sexual assault of all kinds, open misogyny, institutional bias, consent, behavioural norms and more have been broken open with the advent of the "hashtag". #WhyIStayed highlighting spousal abuse, #YesAllWomen and #EverydaySexism revealing misogyny, #TimesUp calling for real change now, #ImWithHer expanding to victims and their stories, #MeToo showing the proclivity of the issues and many more have forever changed the discourse around cultural standards. 2015 was a watershed year for Canada and its institutions in the global feminist awakening. The Jian Ghomeshi case. Sexual assault in Parliament. The demented behaviour directed at female politicians such as Catherine McKenna, Kathleen Wynne, Sandra Jansen and Rachel Notley to name a few. The discussion is here and it isn't going away, nor should it. But like all things, the conditions around the issues continue to change for many reasons. Controlling the message has never been more prominent than it is today, by all sides. To amend a famous quote, First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then they CO-OPT you when the tide has completely turned. There is nobody in public life these days that will not declare themselves a feminist. Not doing so is uncool, an invitation to be left outside of advancement with a likely high cost. But declaration is not action. Support is not change. The hypocrisy is becoming more nuanced. Julie Lalonde is an internationally recognized expert educator on violence against women, institutional gender-based bias, womens rights and activism. A winner of the Governor General's Award for her efforts, Julie returns to The View Up Here to discuss the progress, changes and co-option of Feminism in 2018 Canada.
