In Silence and Resistance: Memoir of a Girlhood in Haiti, Monique Clesca moves from a childhood shaped by the Duvalier dictatorship to the family secrets that surfaced in the aftermath of Haiti’s 2010 earthquake — domestic violence, child sexual assault, and the generational silence that held them in place. In recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, join Clesca in conversation with Dr. Victor Beauvil for a discussion on breaking silence, confronting inherited harm, and finding freedom.
