But Why Did You Stay - A candid interview with Mekisha Jane Walker "Girl, how’d you do that?"

This is a very personal episode for me. I will be interviewing Mekisha Jane Walker about her book, "But, Why Did You Stay?", a book about her marriage to an abusive partner. But, I also reveal details of my own abusive marriage.  It's a secret no one wants to share. There is a lot of embarrassment and judgment when it comes to domestic violence. And most people do not realize how hard it is to break free.

Mekisha Jane Walker was a successful trial attorney.  No one could imagine that her life behind closed doors was filled with violence and verbal abuse.  A very public event was the catalyst to her finally breaking free. She shares her journey with us today and we discuss the stigma behind domestic violence and how YOU can help someone break free.
