Show Notes

Cassandra Wesley was a resident of zip code 75216 over 30 years ago when she and her children escaped her abusive husband, entering the shelter at Genesis. Today, Cassandra returns to both Genesis and zip code 75216 in Dallas to bring domestic violence services to the community she once fled. Hear Cassandra's story of transformation and how that is linked to the next generation of change as we also interview Crislyn Faison and Aysia Lane, the black women filmmakers of #BlackAtSMU. Crislyn - who is Cassandra's great-niece - continues her family's legacy of transformation through filmmaking, while Aysia enriches the conversation through engaging storytelling. Their interwoven stories are rooted in understanding and effecting meaningful change for the next generation. This episode discusses domestic violence, physical violence, racism, and discrimination.
