Many African American women have had experiences of being
stereotyped or judged based on the preconceived notions of service
providers. Because of the assumptions of the provider, a service or
product that is available is not accepted or accessed. This book
seeks to show through the experience of a survivor, how it feels to
be in need of a service yet unable to attain it. This book is about
being able to walk side by side with survivors of color. The goal
is to reduce the barriers faced by women of color by providing a
framework for understanding the role of culture in domestic and
sexual violence.
"Ch ree Thomas is deeply committed and passionate to end
violence against women. She is a true advocate who really gets the
human rights quality of "empowerment advocacy." "
Paula Callen, MCADSV Director of Program Services and Building
the Safety Net Project
"It is far beyond the time that women of color have our voices
heard around the service provision and understanding of our issues
regarding domestic and sexual violence. Ch ree Thomas has a clear
vision and innovative ideas for women of color leadership in this
work. I know this book will serve as a guide to those of us who
continue to advocate for women of color who have had to manage,
navigate and process the pain of being assaulted and will prove to
have solutions to how women of color can heal."
