“My mom is American, so I was raised in her household in my formative years. But as I got older, my pops tried to keep me involved with the culture by telling me the stories of the conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea, how he came to America, and about our family back home, because all that side of my family, my aunties, grandparents, is in Africa.” YearsStoriesHomeAmericaCultureSidesMomInvolvedConflictMy FamilyRaisedMy MomPopsOur FamilyHouseholdGrandparentBack HomeEthiopiaFormative YearsEritrea Author:Nipsey Hussle

“The vast majority of unfaithful people are experiencing a conflict between their values and their behavior, and that is the mess of infidelity. It's not an either-or. The idea that you would ask, "How can you say you love your husband and you want to stay married, and you also are having an affair?" Because we are not the same woman, or the same man. Because sexual revolutions don't take place at home. Because for most of us, freedom wasn't something that we experienced in our family, but usually outside of our family.” PeopleMenHomeValuesLove YouRevolutionHusbandConflictBehaviorMarriedAffairMessOur FamilyInfidelityUnfaithful Author:Esther Perel
“Say you're a sex worker and your partner knows you're a sex worker, but you're not out to your family. That could be very dangerous, particularly in an unhealthy relationship, where it could be a recipe for conflict, for something potentially violent that could lead to someone going to jail. There's so much pressure because of the criminalization and stigma. If we lifted that, it's only going to benefit more women.” DangerousConflictViolentOur FamilyStigma Author:Melissa Gira Grant
