How can we center childhood sexual abuse survivor healing without relying on prisons? There aren’t any easy answers, but there are possibilities. Thirty-nine diasporic Black survivors, advocates, and one former bystander, courageously wrote about those possibilities in Aishah Shahidah Simmons’ 2020 Lambda Literary Award-winning anthology, Love WITH Accountability: Digging Up the Roots of Child Sexual Abuse. 

Join us on Wednesday, March 30, 2022, on DC Public Library's Facebook and YouTube pages for an author talk between Simmons and two of the anthology contributors, Indira Henard, DSW, MSW, Executive Director of the D.C. Rape Crisis Center, and alicia sanchez gill, MSW, Executive Director of the Emergent Fund. The three will be in conversation about healing and accountability for childhood sexual abuse survivors.
