About this listen

In 2010, Marissa Alexander fired a warning shot into the air to protect herself from her abusive husband. No one was hurt. She had a restraining order. She used a legally owned firearm.


The court gave her 20 years in prison.


In this episode, we walk through Marissa’s story—a story that exposes the brutal reality of how the justice system treats survivors, especially Black women.


Because when a woman chooses survival, she shouldn’t be punished for it.


This isn’t just a story. It’s a pattern.

And we’re done staying quiet about it.
