When Survival Becomes a Crime: Double Jeopardy and the Fight for Softness Inspired by Christina Mullins

This episode delves into the harsh reality Black women face when survival itself becomes criminalized. Featuring insights from advocate Christina Mullins, we examine the double jeopardy of enduring intimate partner violence and then facing incarceration for self-defense. Through real stories and powerful data, we explore why leaving abuse is often more dangerous than staying, how systemic failures compound trauma, and what true support and justice for survivors should look like. Join us as we challenge harmful narratives, uplift community-based solutions, and reimagine a "soft girl era" where safety and healing are rights, not privileges.
