WYATT! 268: Makin’ Your Great Escape From Partner Violence w/Lloyd Young, Sexual Violence Expert!

The WYATT! Podcast dives deep into timely, critical issues impacting Gay/SGL (Same Gender Loving) men, featuring a diverse set of LGBTQ movers, shakers, and change agents. It’s absorbing, informative, provocative, and sprinkled with sly, spicy (and sometimes a wee bit) scandalous humor! WYATT! observes Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) with Lloyd Young ( @blackexperienceuk ), an LGBTQ+ activist and independent sexual-violence advocate. Mr. Young is the founder of Black Experience UK, a long-standing, community-driven organization dedicated to addressing the experiences and needs of Black LGBTQ+ individuals. With more than 30 years of community-based advocacy, this human rights advocate pulls no punches as he shares what compelled him to create the organization. Lloyd and I—both survivors—have a candid and deeply personal conversation about Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse (IPV/A), its devastating consequences, and how stigma and silence contribute to its dramatic underreporting within the queer community. Get ready for a powerful, unfiltered conversation about intimate partner violence and sexual abuse, the stigma and silence surrounding them—and why having these difficult conversations is not only necessary, but potentially life-changing. And always remember: WYATT! is AB-SO-LUTE-LY "Eargasm Fo' Tha Grown Folks!"
