Beffy reason behind the shoot

Domestic Violence is an issue I am particularly passionate and knowledgeable about. Due to this I wanted to create a campaign based on Domestic Violence.

If you're wondering 'what is the point in this?' Then your answer is this... Domestic Violence can happen to anyone, at any time and in any place. I am a model, I work 3 jobs, I'm a girl, a woman, a college student, a lover, a girlfriend, a best friend, a daughter, a sister, a cousin. I hate few and I love many. That is me NOW, not then... I have a bad past, I have a terrifying history, but I have a bright future.

There is a way out of any bad situation, it just depends how long it takes for you to get there.

Only now am I truly happy, confident, motivated and strong. Everyone I have around me is there for a reason - they love me, and I love them.

I want this campaign to show that even though I was opening up old scars, I am not afraid anymore - it can happen to anyone, MALE or FEMALE, young and old, a friend or a stranger, a family member or a neighbour... Always look out for one another, and always look for the signs of Domestic Abuse.
