Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The term “domestic violence” doesn’t typically bring to mind million-dollar homes and Ivy League degrees. But abuse by a partner doesn’t make class distinctions, and so-called “upscale violence” is a problem that is often underreported. We explore the special challenges upper-income victims face in recognizing abuse and getting help.
Guests
- Susan Folwell Private psychotherapist and domestic violence program manager at The Women's Center in Vienna, VA
- Sam Bachman Offender Services Supervisor for the Fairfax County Office for Women and Domestic and Sexual Violence Services
- Alan Plevy Founding principal of the firm Smolen Plevy
- Kathleen Dumais Member, Maryland House of Delegates for Montgomery County and an attorney with the firm Paley-Rothman
