Russell Simmons used his power & privilege to take advantage of multiple women. Now he’s attacking them again through a campaign of fear and intimidation, buoyed by powerful allies and PR spin machines. Hear the stories from the survivors themselves, watch @CBSThisMorning
today.
Too often, black women are silenced, disbelieved, or even vilified when they speak out.
We are in awe of these survivors’ courage and strength. We will continue to fight for them, and we will continue to fight for a future where black women are truly heard and believed.
