Empowering Survivors: Symone Fairchild's Mission to End Domestic Violence

Women in the Arena

Let's be friends!

What would you do if you found yourself trapped in a cycle of domestic violence? In this week's episode, we were honored to have Symone Fairchild, a screenwriter, actor, director, executive producer, and founder of Eye on DV, join us to share her incredible story of survival and advocacy. Symone opened up about her experiences with domestic violence and how it inspired her to create a powerful platform dedicated to eradicating this devastating issue.
Together, we took a deep look into the common patterns and subtle control tactics present in every abusive relationship. Exploring the power and control wheel, Simone helped us understand the insidious nature of coercion, threats, and love bombing as part of grooming someone for domestic violence. We also delved into the long-lasting effects of psychological abuse, highlighting the importance of supporting survivors and recognizing the signs of domestic violence in those around us.
In our conversation with Symone, she emphasized the incredible resources available to survivors, from housing to counseling and legal aid. With inspiring strength and advocacy, Symone is making a real difference in the lives of domestic violence survivors. Don't miss this powerful and eye-opening conversation with Symone Fairchild, as we learn together how to better support those affected by domestic violence and work towards its eradication.
