Melanie Greblo Interview Final

Episode 492 (2024) Melanie Greblo On Financial Independence For Women Escaping Domestic Violence

This song was written by J.R. Halas in 2005, he sings and plays the lead guitar on it, I play the Bass, Piano, Acoustic Guitar, and Drums. J.R. and I recorded 5 or 6 songs in my studio, this being the last. This is a very swampy Blues number and he did a great job on it. I produced a video to go along with this song, shedding light on the cruelty and madness of Domestic Violence and how it must be stopped immediately! Please watch the video, there will be numbers to call for help if you need it. I deal with many uncomfortable topics in my music and videos, I just don't write lovey dovey pop songs all the time but I prefer to write those! I'll put a link to the video here, it is posted on YouTube now. Thanks to everybody for supporting me, I've met wonderfully artists here on SoundCloud. 👍😎✌🏼

SHE KNOWS
Words and Music c2024 Melanie E Broussard

She runs away from him every night
But the doors are all closed
Bruises arise despite her flight
Hidden under her clothes

Mr Thunder rolls
Over her immortal soul
Flattened like play-doh
But he will never know

She knows
She knows
She knows
But she can’t tell a soul

Trapped in a corner with no way out
Nowhere left to turn
All she can hear is the sound of his shout
As one more dinner burns

Mr Thunder slaps
Insanity snaps back complete collapse
A gun lets a bullet go
But he will never know

She knows
She knows
She knows
But she can’t tell a soul

SHE KNOWS

Story Hour is Centre for Stories' regular monthly podcast where we sift through our archives of recorded stories to bring you up to an hour of diverse, intriguing, and real experiences from (extra)ordinary people.

This month's theme is GENDER. Just as culture and society is fluid and complex, gender is a spectrum subject to the eye of the beholder and how the person identifies themselves. Gender-based discrimination and conversely, gender privilege, influences people’s expression of their gender identity. Today we delve deeper into the importance of gender identity and the ways it moulds us, through four different stories. 

Featuring storytellers Emery Wishart, Noelle Martin, Dawson Ruhl and "Alice".

Story Hour Ep 8: Gender

I wrote this on July 18th, 2024. Thank you for listening!

Lyrics:
I pay attention
to all the minute details;
From the parting of your hair
to the chipping of your nails. 

I even notice things
you do not want others to see. 
Like how you hide your feelings
or when you disagree.

I want to be there for you. 
Know that, there is nothing, 
I wouldn't do...

Passing you while you laugh
Slipping by, on my way to class. 
Thinking you do not see,
but instead, you stop and look at me. 

I try not to look aghast;
So used to being an outcast.

But you just smile
and act so 
carefree,
despite the 
bruises 
on your knee. 

And I swear that you can do better.

I see you with him
And continue to walk down my mile.
No offense, but he looks like a child. 

You just grin
a smile that looks hostile
and I wonder if you are 
going to continue to stay for awhile.

I want to be there for you. 
Know that, there is nothing, 
I wouldn't do...

Passing you while you laugh
Slipping by, on my way to class. 
Thinking you do not see,
but instead, you stop and look at me. 

I try not to look aghast;
So used to being an outcast.

But you just smile
and act so 
carefree,
despite the 
bruises 
on your knee. 

And I swear that you can do better.

I know that I should not get involved 
But I won't give up, until this is solved.
I want this problem to be forestalled.
Before my love can be dissolved.

I want to be there for you. 
Know that, there is nothing, 
I wouldn't do...

Passing you while you laugh
Slipping by, on my way to class. 
Thinking you do not see,
but instead, you stop and look at me. 

I try not to look aghast;
So used to being an outcast.

But you just smile
and act so 
carefree,
despite the 
bruises 
on your knee. 

Yeah,
I try not to look aghast;
So used to being an outcast.

But you just smile
and act so 
carefree,
despite the 
bruises 
on your knee. 

And I swear that you can do better.
Yeah, you can do better. 
Cause I swear, that you can do better. 
Yeah, you can do better. 
You can do better.

Bruises on your knee

Today's Word: Domestic violence is increasing at a faster rate than families and police can keep up with. Women and children are primary targets but not the only ones being attacked and killed by their partners- yet MONEY & POWER make things even more complicated and dangerous. There is a wave of money-related killings coming in wealthy societies so let those who aspire to be rich hear the warnings of the Spirit of God. HEAR THE WORDS OF THE LORD.

"PRACTICAL WISDOM FOR LIFE:" HANDLING SEXUAL & DOMESTIC VIOLENCE [PART 1]

Domestic violence isn’t just physical—it can also include emotional, mental, and financial abuse, which are often harder to detect but equally harmful. This session discusses how to recognize the different forms of abuse and the legal protections available to support victims. Understanding these signs is key to helping those affected get the help they need.

Domestic Violence and Legal Protections

Dive deep into the transformative world of social work, with Social Impact Pioneer, Peter Buturo. As Peter champions the vital force social work offers to strengthen communities, combat poverty, and champion justice.

Peter is a seasoned social worker actively engaged in the field. During this conversation hear Peter’s inspiring journey into social work, sparked by personal tragedy and fuelled by a deep-seated desire to make a real difference in people’s lives. 

At the age of 16, Peter suffered the loss of his mother, uncle and grandparents. This devastation led him to reach crisis point as he battled with suicide. At the age of 17, Peter navigated life without parents in the UK. Fast forward to 2011 and Peter graduates from Birmingham City University as a qualified social worker. 

In our discussion, we address how and why social workers played such an important part in his own journey. Peter explains why he believes social workers continue to be critical in early intervention, the importance of family environment in child development, and the often misunderstood aspects of social work amidst public scrutiny. Peter emphasises the necessity of empathy and collaboration across societal sectors to foster real change.

This episode not only sheds light on the day-to-day realities of social workers but also delves into broader societal issues like domestic violence and the systemic challenges that professionals face in safeguarding the welfare of children and families.

Stay tuned as we uncover effective strategies for improving social systems and hear firsthand from someone who's not only in the trenches but also looking ahead to the future of social care. Whether you're a fellow social worker, involved in policy, or simply interested in contributing to a more just society, this episode promises profound insights and compelling discussions.
