The Origins of Hurt2Healing
By Bro. Jesse Muhammad- Final Call News Staff Writer , Motivational Speaker, and Artist
HOUSTON (FinalCall.com) - Earlier this year, an article in the popular VIBE magazine asked the question, "What happened to the Millions More Movement?" "The Millions More Movement is alive and well in the city of Houston," said Millions More Movement National Co-Convener Dr. Ben Chavis.
Those sentiments were echoed at a Father's Day press conference here, with a surprising announcement. Pastor Kirbyjohn Caldwell, a prominent pastor of mega-church Windsor Village United Methodist Church, had offered his church's facility and agreed to partner with the Millions More Movement Ministry of Justice in its July 1, 2006 March Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (organized by men, for women).
The march, originally scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. from downtown Houston, is themed "From Hurt to Healing, Protecting the Essence of Our Sisters." Supporters include Essence magazine Editorial Director Susan Taylor, the Hip Hop Summit Action Network (HSAN) of New York, Million Woman's March Organizing Committee of Philadelphia, Congressman Al Green, Houston City Councilman Jarvis Johnson and a host of others.
With the theme "From Hurt to Healing: Protecting the Essence of Our Sisters," the Planning and Execution Committee of the Ministry of Justice designed a rally and march unprecedented in the city. How so? Because it was organized chiefly by men for women, who were given an opportunity to express their hurt and the means by which the healing could begin. The rally's opening remarks were delivered by lead organizer Deric Muhammad, who also serves as the Local Ministry of Justice spokesman, which were followed by the pouring of libations by Kofi Taharka of the National Black United Front. Anxious to turn the program over to the Sisters, Bro. Deric then quickly introduced key male leaders in attendance who all came forth to share brief words of support. "Any one who does not love Black women does not love himself," stressed Congressman Al Green (TX-9), who was instrumental in having a congressional bill passed last year to fight domestic violence.
Councilmember Jarvis Johnson (District B) called on all men to start taking charge. "We must patrol ourselves and take a stronger stand for our women." As he spoke, others stood with blown-up composite sketches of a sexual predator that he and others are working to get off of the streets.

Healing: A Perspective
to Consider
By: Niedria D. Kenny- Author, Poet, and Speaker
 I found myself saying "I do" for many of the right reasons, but for all of the wrong reasons. I loved this man for who he was and what he taught me, no doubt, but I married him hoping that I would fall in love with him somewhere along the way.
Being in love yields a different perspective on a set of circumstances and the way we respond to those circumstances. While just having love for someone, can be a feeling of just caring for that person. I just cared for this man. I cared for him because I could see that he was in love with me. All we want sometimes is for someone to love us, but we are not looking at the way we are treating the one who loves us. Are we allowing ourselves to stay in a relationship to fill a void?
There I was marrying the man who always wanted to marry me. There he was marrying the girl that he always wanted to marry. Can you see the imbalance here? I was not as excited about the marriage as I was about the wedding. I thought I could make myself ok with the terms.

I Am A Survivor
By Mavis C. Jackson, LCDC, CART
 I am a survivor of domestic violence that was associated with drug and alcohol addiction. I suffered from a drug addiction for many years and endured physical abuse at the hands of the man I was in a "relationship" with at that time. I can honestly say the reason I stayed in it and tolerated the abuse was because I was addicted to drugs and he was my supplier. However women do remain in abusive relationships for other reasons, but there is never a good reason to tolerate abuse. I recall this man beating me so badly that both my eyes were black, and then after I healed, I went right back to him. The drugs had my self-esteem at an all-time low, and that is another reason I believe women endure this mistreatment. So many fear they will be alone if they leave the abuser, so they become comfortable in the pain.
