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.

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.

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