Reflections on When Love Kills, The Falicia Blakely Story: I Was In an Abusive Relationship (But Thank GOD, I Got Out)

Last night, I attended a screening for TV One’s new movie, When Love Kills. Lil Mama plays Falicia Blakely, a young, impressionable woman who prostitutes herself, steals, and kills to secure the love of an abusive man named Big Dino (played by Lance Gross). While watching it, I couldn’t help but draw similarities to my last relationship. Like Big Dino, my ex was extremely charming and super loving at first. He told me I was his everything and that we…

The Bomb Life 101: Finding Your Purpose
