he audience of about
60 people Thursday
night in the Kansas
Ballroom watched a one
minute clip of a young
woman with bruises around
her eyes, finger marks on
her neck and blood dripping from her nose.
After the video ended, Beverly Gooden, creator of the viral hashtag
WhyIStayed, asked the
audience to put themselves
in her place.
Imagine what its like to
be that girl, Gooden said
to the audience. Imagine
falling in love, being happy, moving in together, and
then one day something
goes terribly wrong, maybe
its a push just a little bit too
hard, or maybe shell tell
you, Youre so stupid, or
maybe its so subtle that you
dont even realize whats
going on.
Gooden told the audience that in the time it took
to watch the short video, 24
people in the United States
had experienced domestic
violence.
And I was one of them,
she said.
Gooden, a national anti-domestic violence speaker and advocate is the creator of the viral hashtag,
#WhyIStayed.
Thursday
night, Gooden told her own
story of survival and the
complexities behind domestic violence.
It all began in 2014,
when video footage of NFL
player Ray Rice beating his
then-fiancee, Janay Palmer,
gained national attention.
Gooden said she was
upset with the online commentary surrounding the
abuse. Instead of criticizing
Rice for his abusive actions,
Gooden said she saw people
criticizing Palmer for staying with Rice, and so she
decided to take a stand.
Using
the
hashtag
#WhyIStayed, she began
tweeting about her own
personal struggle to get out
of her abusive marriage,
and explained that its not
always a simple choice.
My first thought wasnt
run, I didnt think, Get out
of here, Gooden said. Because for six months, he
had been this perfect guy,
he had been kind and sweet
and loving and he was a
musician, so he played me
songs, you know he was a
minister in our church, we
both served the community,
and I loved him.
Within
hours,
the
hashtag was trending in the
U.S., and people from all
over the country were sharing their own experiences.
People men, women, children of domestic
violence, friends of victims
were tweeting their reasons
and the reasons that they
knew about for staying in
this relationship, Gooden
said.
The hashtag went on to
include tweets from over
200,000 people.
My first thought
wasnt run, I
didnt think, Get
out of here.

Her hair is almost
always dyed a bright color;
her arms are covered in colorful, abstract tattoos.
As an illustration student in the School of Architecture, Design and Planing; she also distinguishes
herself with her art, which
occupies different media.
She likes to draw, paint and
create movie makeup looks.
However, her favorite is
cut paper work.
Its really, really delicate, Quaranta said. And I
like making all the tiny pieces, and it looks like nothing,
and then all of a sudden you
put it together and you have
a picture.
Many of her pieces depict weird characters

hair adorned with flowers
against backdrops of skeletons or spider webs. Others
are more lighthearted, such
