Two years ago, I came across a startling article in Essence Magazine about a suburb of my hometown Washington, DC. Prince George's county, it said, is the wealthiest black county in the country, but yet it has a higher rate of domestic violence than any other jurisdiction in Maryland. How tragic, I thought. Beyond their beautiful homes and high-powered jobs, these women were hiding behind a mountain of lies. I wrote this song in honor of them and in observance of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Hope the story moves you as much as it moved me. Thanks! Wayna
