    Freeing Yourself as a Domestic Abuse Survivor (Guest Blog Post written by Joe Rees)

    Domestic violence survivors are acutely aware of how colossal the first steps of escaping abuse can be. When your home is no longer your sanctuary, it’s time to step onto a new path. Ramelle Carter Media wants to help and offers the following guidance. 

    If you haven’t left, Make a plan

    The Office on Women’s Health of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services provides some practical tips on how to go about leaving your abuser. It’s “realistic” because they acknowledge the difficulties many women or even men encounter when removing themselves from domestic violence situations. 

    As a result, women fervently believe their abusive partner will change. The abuser will often seem to revert to disguising themselves as a loving and kind person to fuel that belief. It’s a damaging mind game that likely started at the very beginning of the relationship.

    Consequently, stop thinking you did something wrong. Think of it as preserving your life and right to a happy and healthy future. 

    Safety in your workplace

    Domestic violence can extend beyond your home and potentially impact your workplace. Domestic violence is, alarmingly, the fastest-growing category of workplace violence. Therefore, it’s crucial to take steps to ensure your safety. Inform your human resources department or supervisor about your situation so they can help implement necessary safety measures. It’s important to note all people have a right to feel safe and secure in any workplace.

    Go forward financially

    Financial abuse is another component of domestic abuse. Furthermore, be mindful to use security protocols for banking information before a potentially smooth getaway.

    If a survivor can’t access held funds, take steps to protect your credit, such as reviewing your credit report. Secondly, take note and be clever about debt and finances. 

    Find your own place

    Financial resources aid in stabilizing the fundamentals to recoup and affirm financial footing. Having your own space allows a safe and secure environment and aids in a more suitable healing process.

    Afterward, getting a new place, whether it’s an apartment or house, may require extra security. Once everything becomes stable installing an exterior smart camera as well as additional deadbolts, and window locks could maintain a vital safety zone.

    Keep taking survival steps

    Surviving domestic abuse is a critical first step, DanQ.me notes that mental and emotional repercussions can manifest even after you’ve left a Domestic abuse situation. Mental health and wellness are priorities towards fulfilling your empowerment. 

    Furthermore, maintain security in your workplace, separate from your abuser financially, and seek shelter if necessary. Surviving domestic abuse is a journey and the journey needs proper care.

  • Domestic Violence Help (Unsilenced Voices)

    Unsilenced Voices Benefit Gala

    On Saturday, July 23rd, I had the pleasure of attending the Unsilenced Voices benefit gala at the Braemer Country Club here in Los Angeles. I was delighted to attend. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic stopped some in-person activities. Shattering any chance of interviews on Red Carpets. Most importantly, Ramelle Carter’s Blog pressed on.

    In other words, we took everything to a Public Television Station. Beginning a partnership with Pasadena Media’s Arroyo Channel. (https://www.pasadenamedia.org/channel/arroyo/) Ramelle Carter’s Blog still progressed. Our Talk Show, Ramelle Carter Blog Live streams Mondays at 05:00 PM & 11:30 PM. After two years, what an impressive accomplishment.

    Although our COVID-19 numbers are steady in LA County, it calls for gratitude. Similarly, negative COVID cases in Los Angeles County allow for more in-person gatherings.

    Moreover, I had to shut down my WeRsurvivors website but no fear, I started Ramelle Carter Media LLC, a business enterprise set up to make the tax man and myself happy.

    In addition, having a presence on social media platforms; products that you barter, buy, or sell, may impress us to give an accountant a call. I realized Real Ramelle Carter was a commodity. Fortunately, bringing my business services to social media stands as a good option. Ramelle Carter Media is serious about providing dignified information to the public. In conclusion, a solid social media presence comes with the territory.

    In other words, earning my Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism made it extremely easy to get back into the Freelance mix. Deciding on working as an Independent Contractor for other outlets? Why not start my own?  Ramelle Carter Blog was born in 2016.

    Therefore, since attending California State University at Northridge in the San Fernando Valley. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D74CGm4sZu8) I achieved status as a News producer back in the day. I oversaw most of the News stories that got on the air. The experience spilled over more than 20 years later. An enjoyment of shaping and crafting information is still incredible for me.

    Ramelle Carter Media plans to shape more stories and have the world “take a peek” into some unknown events in Los Angeles. The preparation of the goals is the same. Ramelle Carter’s Blog introduced a community to survival stories. Ramelle Carter Blog Live brought the same aspect only in a 30-minute live Talk Show format. However, Ramelle Carter Media will spotlight events, organizations, or news that exposes the sensitive areas of Domestic Abuse. Therefore, a definitive blossoming did awaken from the ashes of the 2020 pandemic.

    The New YouTube show, “Real News Los Angeles,” celebrates organizations committed to helping restore, recover, and encourage women, men, and children. Similarly, overcoming Domestic Abuse involves strategy. The hope is to acknowledge and highlight positive images in our community. “Real News Los Angeles” will profile events that will empower, and dissolve certain stigmas related to Domestic Abuse.

    After that, a good plan is to bring comfort to the needs of men, women, and children. Ramelle Carter Media wants to document, film, or chat with people who are our “do-gooders.” We imagine a world where good is better than bad. For instance, recently there has been an increase in violence, mass shootings, and instabilities. “Real News Los Angeles” will work hard to show audiences about organizations establishing peaceful solutions to Domestic Violence. In conclusion, eliminating Domestic Violence altogether.

    Meanwhile, the first organization I am spotlighting is “Unsilenced Voices”.  Please click the website link, (https://unsilencedvoices.org/) volunteer, give, donate, and learn about this wonderful place to get help for Domestic Violence issues.

    Domestic Violence help happens to be the “Unsilenced Voices” mission statement. I would encourage everyone to participate in getting more information for someone who is hurting and may not know where to turn.

    Domestic Violence Help

    Help is broken down into H.E.L.P, healing, evolving, loving, and participating.

    The H stands for Healing.

    Domestic Violence can turn anyone involved into that same person who victimizes if they are not careful. Can we all remember Amber Hurd?

    (https://nypost.com/2022/07/13/judge-denies-amber-heards-bid-for-new-trial-in-johnny-depp-case/)

    Subsequently, when speaking of Amber Hurd names like “Amber Turd,” came out. Amber Hurd lost her court battle with her ex-Johnny Depp. In the infamous trial, Amber Hurd was touted as the abuser. On the other hand, she was just taking back her power. Gossip media outlets. social media trolls and fans of Johnny Depp did not see it that way.

    A numbness, that is to say, can pull your emotions to a place of disaster. The victim must find healing. The wounds of abuse are massive.

    Consequently, the healing process should not in any circumstance come out too quickly. My journey became secure gradually. In accordance, I received my Domestic Violence Advocacy certification.

     

    The E Stands for Evolving

    Evolving means to lessen your mind against worry and completely forgive. Instead of holding in malice for the perpetrator. Reading about Ashley Judd awakened me to how she went through “restorative justice” (https://grief.com/podcast/ashley-judd-on-mental-illness-her-mothers-death-and-the-importance-of-grief-support/).

    Ashley Judd has given all women a win. My perpetrator and ex-husband apologized for his abuse. To sum it up, I forgave him wholeheartedly. Although, it is still taking our kids longer to evolve. My kids do love their father. Remembering the father, he had shown before his addiction took the best of him is the positive aspect.

     

    The L Stands for Loving

    Loving means to start trusting. Firstly, Trust is a huge factor in gaining sufficient interest in a partner, soulmate, lover, friend, or companionship.

    Secondly, Trust can hold the key to someone’s heart. Being able to trust holds the door to expression. In as much, breaking the chains to all positive energy is an approach to fulfillment. Loving is the most prestigious word.

    It is the regulator to prospering moreover taking back our dignity; respectfully, decently, and orderly. Loving breaks the mold. For instance, loving evaluates the sustainability of getting victims back in solidifying such a great bond to the opposite, and same-sex partnership.

     

    The P Stands for Participation

    Participation is growth to total peace and calm. From childhood to adulthood there is room for growth. Likewise, it is the plateau of puberty. (https://www.understood.org/en/articles/growth-mindset). A great participation spirit to clarify drives us to stay equipped with knowledge. Those who stay behind, and watch remain in grief.

    As a result, moving forward in wanting more out of life is key. Participation allows the foundation of information to get you full.

    Meanwhile, foundational information keeps you informed. For instance, establishing the right attitude to move out of your comfort zone.

    Especially, comfort coinciding with abusive relationships. Participating with organizations like “Unsilenced Voices: can optimize a vision for reconciliation to forge ahead in diminishing Domestic Violence. https://unsilencedvoices.org/team-founder/

    Unsilenced Voices

    Here is more information on the Unsilenced Voices mission.

    If you can find the time to donate to this organization then please do so by clicking the website. Share by telling someone special there is help for them. Break away from a partner who is not taking their feelings into the heart in Domestic Violence.

    I am happy to be able to share the accomplishments of others. Survivors who are in the trenches. Experts who give a great amount of their time, and energy to help women in the United States and abroad.

    Take your hats off to the Unsilenced voices organizations.

    Surely, Unsilenced Voices have talents and gifts they could be spreading in other places. Yet, Unsilenced Voices impart a lifestyle and broaden a trickling effect on resources for those who suffer from Domestic Violence.

    Unjustly, an enormous number of articles are available on women who tragically perish in Domestic Violence incidents.

    Domestic Violence Help is here, and it will capture your heart in a way that justifies wanting to know more about Unsilenced Voices and getting information.

  • COVID Crisis in our Community

    COVID Crisis in our Community

     

    Singer, Jeremih (Update)

    Singer Jeremih is reportedly doing better since leaving the ICU this past weekend due to a COVID-19 related illness. A message confirmed by his DJ T. Taylor from a recent Instagram story post that states Jeremih was praising God for his recovery, and the information trended heavily on Twitter. We are glad he is a COVID-19 survivor. This COVID-19 Crisis is a wake-up call.

    On a previous blog post (https://www.ramellecartermedia.com/corona-virus-covid-19) back in March. For instance, I defined the COVID-19 dangers in a setting that gave a clear picture of the terror lurking our way. We all have a job not to be reckless. Specifically, stay healthy and mindful of our safety.

    Although many people of all class, size, economic background, and race can get ill from COVID, my focus today involves my people, which are 2.6x higher according to the CDC, to get the virus. https://www.cdc.gov;  my community is hit the hardest. Therefore, we really need to stick together and build wonderful groups around us with good, safe goals to help us really get back on the road to healing. COVID-19 is taking our people out, with young and old, being affected. Singer Jeremih is just one in a handful of African American celebrities to be victims of this virus.

    Also, the Black/Brown Community can not fall on our knees and wait for help. However, we need to call out any groups who lack responding and assisting in our recovery. African-Americans can no longer allow our families to sit down and die. Black Lives Matter must continue fighting against police brutality by marching the streets with masks and following all social distancing protocols.

    In other words, learn, read, and listen to our local elected officials while keeping your families safe. The changing times are above all filled with differences we all need to step up and maintain, think good thoughts, use time wisely, practice self-care, and whenever possible, do positive things around the house to keep spirits high. Moreover, call/text a loved one, friend, or special one to say, “How are you doing? Lastly, let’s shoutout those who tested positive and won.

    1. Idris Elba
    2. NBA Kevin Durant
    3. Kenny “Babyface” Edmunds
    4. NBA Patrick Ewing
    5. DL Hughley
    6. Atlanta Mayor, Keisha Lance Bottoms
    7. Tiffany Haddish
    8. Rapper Scarface
    9. NBA Russell Westbrook
    10. Sheree Whitfield
    11. Usain Bolt
    12. The Rock
    13. Rapper Slim Thug

  • Cheron K. Griffin, Author

    Cheron K. Griffin

    Ramelle Carter Blog is ecstatic over a phone chat with Author, Freedom Coach, Lifestyle Hacker, Dating Consultant, and a Divorce Guru, Cheron K. Griffin.  Griffin’s latest accomplishment is a book called, I See You, Igniting Hope and Preventing Suicide. I See You, was written and inspired by the help of emojis.  The book provides comfort for people feeling lonely, different, or broken-hearted. The premise of the book is “I see you and you are loved.”  “I SEE YOU” sole campaign purpose is to spread happiness.

    Here is the link to the book: https://www.amazon.com/SEE-YOU-Igniting-Preventing-Suicide/dp/0985723335/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=i+see+you%3A+igniting+hope+and+preventing+suicide&qid=1566909249&s=gateway&sr=8-4

    Ramelle:  Please briefly explain what prompted you to write your new book?

    Cheron: God, also my amazing spirit,  guided me to write this book, also the reason why I uses emojis, the who book process leads me to let others have a dialogue.

    Ramelle: You know the whole subject of suicide hits home with me. When my daughter was a student at North Hollywood High school; her classmate committed suicide. My daughter began to shut down.  Above all, I talked with her, and I was available. Futhermore, I am very aware of the effects of suicide.

     

    Ramelle: With tragedies of suicide, especially with teens; What are some signs that you and other certified professionals has found to be a trigger factor?

    Cheron: Certainly there is no one who can point out easily a trigger, I mean there are some people who just say or even start getting affairs in order, simple as that.

     

    Ramelle: Can you give my readers insight on your Grow A Girl Network?

    Cheron: Grow a Girl Network, is an extension of the book, I See You, its actually in a rebranding stage but, essentially I want this to encourage girls, ladies, women to have awesome self-esteem, dream big and aim high.

     

     

    The magic of reading and joy of books is a wonderful exploration. Consequently, Cheron K. Griffin took the time to share it with me. Therefore in a ambiguous way,  we all owe gratitiude to the power of knowledge and sharing. Let me take this time to call this the share corner. The share corner is where I interview a person who has taken the time to forge ahead with all or even some complications that life brings forward. The disastrous of even more memories will come to pass and bottle up a tasty treat of joy.

     

    Finally, I want to take this time to remember, Xavier William Patterson, who will always be remembered in my daughter’s heart.
