Married to Medicine LA resident Black Psychiatrist

Listen to this episode from Imani State of Mind on Spotify. During a pandemic, sheltering-in-place can protect you from getting sick, but for people in abusive relationships, it can also mean being stuck isolating with your abuser. Domestic violence cases have spiked dramatically in the past few months as COVID-19 has kept people at home.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and in 2020, Sequoya was interviewed by Dr. Imani, from the podcast Imani State of Mind, and Bravo TV’s Married to Medicine LA, resident Black psychiatrist.

During a pandemic, sheltering-in-place can protect you from getting sick, but for people in abusive relationships, it can also mean being stuck in isolation with your abuser. Domestic violence cases have spiked dramatically in the past few months as COVID-19 has kept people at home. This week, Dr. Imani breaks down the signs of abuse, how to get help, and how realistic domestic violence in pop culture is with anti-violence advocate and therapist Sequoya Hayes.
