Whats so amazing about this project is the amazing stories of women who have turned a victim situation into a victorious one; and these women are working side by side to bring awareness to domestic violence through our campaign. You can watch our Domestic Violence Public Service Announcement’s at www.youtube.com/thehouseofwadelee.  Our PSA’s spotlight a model identifying with a Domestic Violence Statistic. Such as, “One out of four women will experience Domestic Violence in a lifetime.” “In Arizona,there were 89 Domestic Violence-related deaths in 2010 alone.” Other stories include a Fashion Statement model, who with courage and strength fled a violent situation from her husband, to protect herself and her son.
“I met my ex-husband when I was 20 years old.  We were very much in love and ready to conquer the world together.  It was not long into the relationship that I began separating myself from my family and friends.  This should have been my first clue that this was not a healthy relationship.  We moved out of state together and that is when the mental manipulation began.  I knew I would be lost if I ever left him.  Finally, life brought us back to our home state and things seemed better at first.  I discovered shortly after coming back that he was cheating on me, and when I confronted him it got ugly.  He strangled me until I blacked out and I did not leave.  There were 3 more years of abuse that I endured after that day.  I got married and had a son in that time.  I thank the lord and the universe everyday for my angel baby!  My eye opening moment was because of his sweet and pure self.
One day while I was doing online registration to enroll in school, my son’s father, instructed it was lunch time.  After not moving fast enough to complete his demands I had a fresh pot of Ramen noodles poured on to my head directly from the stove.  The fact that my son was sitting within 3 feet of me and saw every second of these events was the last straw.  I called a friend and managed to pick up my son and leave to “go to the store.”  I filed for a restraining order and my legal separation the next morning at the Courthouse.
I had been calling Sojourner’s Center for several weeks prior to this event.  They had let me know the steps necessary to vacate my dangerous environment.  I did not think the guidelines were necessary and felt they were incredibly strict.  Looking back, I wish I would have made the moves after the very first call.  Not doing so, turned my son into one of the 3.3 to 10 million children that witness domestic violence annually.  I took responsibility for the life my son was exposed to before it got even worse.  I can only support him and teach him respect to avoid a pattern.”

The raw truth about the violence against women is alarming.

Artist Bio

I grew up in Peoria, and started drawing and painting in high school. Since then it has become my passion and I want to make it my career. I am a fine arts major at Glendale Community College, and I will transfer to ASU after this year when I receive my associates degree. I am having a great time taking drawing, painting and design classes which encourage me to try new things and further develop my own style. I incorporate a wide range of my interests into the art I create. I love experimenting with various media and subject matter, but I have the most fun when using people, and I have recently gained a lot of portrait experience. I also include a lot of animals in my paintings. I love dogs, and I am currently training a service dog with the FSDS, (Foundation for Service Dog Support) a non-profit organization that trains rescue dogs for the disabled in our community.

Thank You,

Heather Chase
