This blog examines the unique combination of the Ozarks culture with women and men who take charge in their community to level the playing field. While many of the posts pertain to feminist ideals and sometimes struggles to adhere to them, there will be many posts giving a voice to other issues in the Ozarks, from the Black Lives Matters movement to the push for anti-discrimination legislation for LGBT. Join me on this journey throughout the hills of the Ozarks and the progress to come.

Domestic Violence in the Ozarks Part 1
This episode was a bit heavy, but it is super important!! I talk about some domestic violence stats and bring some real life examples to the power and control wheel. Next week, Part 2 will be on male victims in domestic violence and local, state, and national resources.
We will talk more about these numbers next week, but here are a couple Hotline numbers for you or someone you may know.
