Episode 262: Hannah Clarke
Hannah Clarke and her children, Aaliyah, Laianah, and Trey, were the victims of domestic and family violence; but that is not their legacy. Their legacy is to bring awareness to this type of violence, to coercive control, and to help other women escape these types of situations to have a happy ending they didn’t get. Hannah’s family started Small Steps 4 Hannah to “HALT the cycle of domestic violence so that everyone can feel respected, informed, confident to act, and safe”. Take a look at their website and donate, share, and educate yourself so you can help spread Hannah’s legacy.
