Resiliency & Growth Through Difficult Conversations  With Sumiyah Mshaka and Moses Weir

Dania Alkhouli

What conversation should we be having on domestic violence? That is the question that begins this week’s episode. This week’s episode brings you a panel discussion on domestic violence, stories of Healing &amp; Survival. My panelists are Sumiyah Mshaka, Dania Alkhouli, and Neda. Each guest brings their unique insights, story, and experience to this important conversation. Together, we discussed the misconceptions, myths and misinformation that surround domestic violence. We also explored ways to support and be there for someone who is currently experiencing domestic violence or is a survivor. I am grateful to Sumiyah, Dania, and Neda for sharing their stories and journeys with us on this week’s episode. A theme that arose during the panel discussion was that, even though it may be difficult, is important we have this conversation.About My Guests: Sumiyah Mshaka is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and group fitness instructor who comes from a family with a legacy of social justice work.
