In this episode of We Survive Abuse, we explore how women like Fannie Lou Hamer and Zora Neale Hurston resisted the systemic micromanagement of their speech—fighting back against those who tried to silence their voices.

We discuss how this kind of control, both personal and societal, operates as a form of emotional abuse that diminishes women’s power. Through the stories of these courageous women, we uncover the strength it takes to speak our truth, even when the world wants us to be quiet. We also dive deep into the effects of personal micromanagement in toxic relationships, examining how controlling our words is a subtle yet powerful way to exert emotional control.

This episode is a call for women to reclaim their voice, resist oppression, and heal from the damage done by silencing tactics.

Join us as we honor the legacies of trailblazing women and offer actionable insights for healing and empowerment.
