Description
Join me this week to learn about this amazing Lakota woman who was the grandmother of the Anti-Domestic Violence Movement. Tillie helped thousands of domestic violence survivors by opening her home (and then the first domestic violence shelter for women of color in the United States) and then she organized and worked beyond shelter doors to advocate for legislation.
