When you say something, that's where abusers lose their power and control, and that's if it's anything that I can impart on anyone tonight is speak up, say something, even if you don't want to talk to your family because you believe that they do not understand you and him.
What does it take to break free from the cycle of domestic violence? Lovern Gordon, founder of the Love Life Now Foundation, knows firsthand. Growing up in Trinidad, she witnessed her father’s brutal abuse towards her mother and siblings. Determined to escape this harrowing reality, she moved to the United States, hoping for a fresh start. However, she found herself in an abusive relationship of her own, learning that torment doesn’t discriminate by geography or personal strength.
In this episode of 'It Gets Better', host Rob Demeo dives deep into Gordon's journey of survival and advocacy. Gordon shares how her experiences fueled her passion to help others through the Love Life Now Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to supporting victims and survivors of domestic violence. The conversation sheds light on the often overlooked importance of male role models in breaking the cycle of abuse and fostering recovery.
Gordon's story is a testament to resilience and the power of community support. Her foundation’s initiatives, like the White Ribbon Challenge, provide safe spaces for survivors to share their stories and find the support they need. Through heartfelt dialogue and powerful narratives, this episode offers hope and practical advice for anyone affected by domestic violence. Tune in to hear how one woman's determination turned personal tragedy into a lifeline for countless others.
