We are confronting a painful and urgent reality. In just the past week, devastating cases of intimate partner violence have made headlines. We have seen the murder of Dr. Cerina Fairfax in Virginia. A mass shooting in Louisiana that left eight children dead and two women critically injured, leaving another family shattered. And in Coral Springs, Florida Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer Bowen, shot to death on April 1st. The suspect is her husband.  These stories are not isolated. Behind closed doors, far too many black women are living in fear, their cries for help too often ignored, dismissed, or unheard. Advocates say this is not just about individual tragedies—it’s about systemic gaps in protection, response, and support. We’re asking…  are Black women being failed, and what must change to save lives?
