Autonomy in Dating and Partner Selection is Our Birthright” explores the powerful intersection of history and empowerment. In this episode of We Survive Abuse, host Tonya GJ Prince delves into the fight for autonomy from enslaved Black Americans resisting control and challenging the so-called medical diagnosis of ‘drapetomania,’ to the ways women today can reclaim their power in dating and relationships.

Drawing wisdom from Black women like Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, and Audre Lorde, this episode is a rallying cry for self-determination, reminding women that choosing themselves is revolutionary.

Tune in for a blend of history, encouragement, and actionable insights on reclaiming your birthright to autonomy.

Trauma always includes loss.

The victim’s sense of self is altered, as is their way of functioning in this world.

Trauma can dismantle faith and hope, and it turns what we thought was true upside down and backwards.

Grieving their losses is grueling work.
