Every night last week, I sat down w/ a leading author + a WNBA or NBA guest to discuss #WhatNow. After the portion for book sales, which went to the Black-owned bookstores, the proceeds from ticket sales are being donated to antiracist organizations, as I revealed each night. 1/7 
I want to thank everyone who purchased tickets. I want to acknowledge the generosity and commitment of all these busy authors and coaches, players, and executives from the WNBA and NBA who donated their time to support these organizations. 2/7

Paula English’s husband was charged with abducting her. She thought he would kill her. When they divorced, she was still ordered to pay him $1,000 a month in alimony – and she’s not alone.

Divorce law varies between states, but other women have similar stories.
A California woman was ordered to pay alimony to the estranged husband charged with sexually assaulting her. A New York woman had to pay the legal fees of an ex-husband who plead guilty to beating her.

While these woman found the law on their side in criminal court, they found something different in family court.
When they’d said “I do,” they’d agreed to financially support their husbands – even if those husbands raped them, beat them up, or tried to kill them.
