On October 23rd, 2021, in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness and sponsored by USC Keck School of Medicine Relationship and Violence Prevention Services, Rainbow Services, LAFCCAC, and NASW USC Unit, TILA will be hosting the 5th Annual IPV Revolution: Creating Intersectional Community Solutions to Uplift Black Parenting.

Through storytelling and an analysis of the oppressive systems that impact Black mothering, be part of a dialogue that will foster our community power unreliant on systems of oppression which have excluded Black women and fems throughout this country’s history.

TILA Table is a “roundtable” format to unite Black women and fem’s community power around the intersections of intimate partner violence, and systems of oppression through the lens of community activism and anti racism. Hear first-hand accounts from our featured storytellers, each of whom will shed light on various aspects of IPV as it relates to their intersections of Black mothering and parenting and/or the multiple social identities of the communities they serve.

Speakers include Dr. Allison Monterrosa, Dr. Tiffany Dukes, Teneicka Drake, Vanessa Warri, and LaToya D. Council. Watch the IPV Revolution: Creating Intersectional Community Solutions to Uplift Black Parenting here.
