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.”
