  • My Story: Meet Rose Williams
    Sep 15 2021

    In today’s episode, the host of the We Hear You Podcast, and the executive director of Harambe Social Services, takes the hot seat. Rose Williams opens up about her life story in the hope that it will offer hope and comfort to anyone listening who is being subjected to domestic abuse. Domestic violence is a pandemic, as much as COVID-19 is, and for various reasons the latter is exacerbating the horrors of the former, making the inspirational work that Rose does ever more relevant. Our conversation today covers so many vital topics, ranging from why there is a need for culturally specific services, to the importance of being sensitive to the difficult decision that mothers face when they find themselves in an abusive relationship and have children to look after. Rose grew up in a violent household and although the road is long and challenging, she has dedicated her life to assisting Black and African American women in abusive relationships, and you’ll hear today about some of the inspiring work she is doing.
