MYA speaks out about Domestic Abuse!

Mya recently created a song called "Blackout" that details a domestic abuse situation. Though May says herself that she has never when in the circumstance her organization The Mya Arts & Tech Foundation which helps women who are suffering from domestic violence, rape, abandonment and low self esteem.

Mya recently told Honey Magazine about the song:
“I was inspired by two different incidents involving two of my female friends. I remember being disgusted, angry, outraged, sad, sympathetic, and fearful of what I would’ve done if I were in their shoes. I’m still pissed from it and even more pissed that they are back with these guys. But those are my girls and I love ‘em for life. I just seriously hope there’s not a next time.”

On Chris Brown and Rihanna’s situation:
I honestly didn’t believe it when I first heard of the situation. I assumed it was another outrageous, untrue rumor from an illegitimate gossip site…After the incident I had my management contact Rihanna’s team about giving her the song. I’m sure it’s still a sensitive time for her to address the issue at all. I’m sure some people will think a bunch of nonsense as they always do [about her making this song now]… …It’s about a silent epidemic that affects one in three women in the world. I just happen to be one of the many concerned voices.”
