October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month 💜 As a sisterhood, we stand with our sisters and all people who are survivors. We honor their strength and resilience and we encourage everyone to take action, raise awareness, and be a source of support. We honor their courage, uplift their voices, and advocate for safe, healthy relationships because love is never met with violence.
