Please join The kNOw Youth Media at 6 PM on September 17th on KBIF-AM 900 as we discuss domestic violence in light of the video of Ray Rice that was released last week.
The video, which shows former Baltimore Raven Ray Rice knocking down his then-fiance in an elevator, has caused public outrage and brings domestic violence into our national conversation. Unfortunately, after a few weeks or months it will be back to business as usual for the NFL and the media cycle, but for millions of families the issue will persist as a daily nightmare.
Steve Thao of The kNOw Youth Media will host the roundtable discussion that will feature a diverse set of guests. Clinical social worker and therapist, Connie M. Murcia-Vasquez, LCSW, will join Maihnia Lee, Kody Stoebig and Miguel Bibancos to discuss the problem of domestic violence in our communities and provide resources for those involved in volatile relationships.
If you are unable to tune in on your radio, you can listen to the stream or it will be available on our website after the show.
