The Effects of Child Molestation: A Candid discussion with author of "Do Not Touch My Spots" by Hashim Hakim

The topic of  "child molestation" is often silenced within our community. The Hon Minister Louis Farrakhan said, "this is a regrettable subject but it is one that must be addressed".  Some statistics state that 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 20 boys are victims of child molestation. In truth, the number is much higher because many victims refuse to ever speak about it. Join me as I engage in a very transparent discussion with entrepreneur and author Hashim Hakim as he shares his personal experience about this explosive topic.
