A polyamorous relationship is not any more or less likely to be abusive than a monogamous one, however having multiple partners may create unique situations that abusive people may exploit. Our social understandings of abuse assume a mono-normative relationship, leading to poor understandings and awareness of the ways abuse may present in a non-monogamous dynamics. In this one-off, live event - join three polyamorous survivors, educators and writers in a global conversation about abuse in polyamory.  About the Speakers: Alicia Bunyan-Sampson - "Creator of @polyamorousblackgirl, an independent filmmaker, writer, counsellor/advocate and researcher based in Toronto.
