A new book, #SheWins 2 hit #1 New Release in Domestic Partner Abuse on Amazon. Just in time for domestic violence awareness month in October, the book made a debut on September 21, 2021.
Author Christina Williams, shares her short story and two personal photographs in this anthology book. Williams is a survivor and advocate against domestic violence. She specialized in prevention education at her local women’s shelter where she once was a client. She is now the founder and creator of the Facebook Page, Damsels-N-Distress. The site aims to help trauma victims identify narcissistic abusive behavior and understand what abusers do and how.
“He would call me names, put me down and degrade me until I didn’t feel like a human being anymore. I don’t really know what came over me except that I intuitively hit my breaking point and saw a way out—finally.” ~ Williams
Williams' story is one of 10 featured in #SheWins 2, which follows the same format as the award-winner, #SheWins by Alisa Divine. Each chapter begins with black and white portraits depicting the emotion of abuse. The women share their stories and each chapter ends with victory. Full-color portraits celebrate the survivors’ irrepressible spirits. Despite the atrocities the women suffered, they insisted on perseverance and overcame.
The women share their experiences to expose domestic violence—it thrives in secrecy. They intend to open conversations, education and resources throughout the month of October, and continuously to encourage more women to stand up, speak out, and get the help they need.
