In between getting dressed up for the AMVCA Cultural Day, BBN Venita took to social media to share her thoughts on the matter, writing:
“As a father, there is absolutely no reason for some kind of levels of violence towards your own Children…ESPECIALLY the girl children. It’s sooooo TRAUMATIC and does psychological damage beyond repair! It affects how they relate and connect to men in their lives! & so much more
Heartbroken – on her birthday too.”
