Today we are celebrating Naomi. We can learn so much from Naomi’s story of resistance to her husband’s abuse of her. Small (& large!) acts of defiance help women know they still matter. We think Naomi is an absolute powerhouse! Learn from Naomi here: www.ownmylifecourse.org/episode6

Only abusers are interested losing control. While both Teddy Swims and H&M are probably onboard with stopping men’s abuse of women, it is unfortunate that their collab hoodie normalises the ways abusive men justify controlling women. More here: ownmylifecourse.org/episode2
