Oprah dedicated an entire show today on this very important topic. Tyra Banks co-hosted the show. I was surprised to hear Tyra recount her own experiences with domestic abuse and violent relationships. The show included several tips for women suffering from this issue and personal stories from women from all across the US. Oprah echoed my thoughts on the issue: "It's not about attacking anyone. It's about taking the moment for us to grow."
Has anyone seen anything else in the media addressing this issue? Is the media finally looking past the scandal and starting to take action?
