Gwen Bennett, in conversation with her grandchild Ireashia Monét, about the domestic abuse and violence she experienced over the course of her life. Ruminations on that trauma are present in Monét's short films THE PEARLS YOU GAVE ME and GRANDMA'S WISDOM. Both films were shown last month at a gathering in Build Coffee. Afterward, Monét and Bennett dove into a discussion on intergenerational trauma and healing.
