This is an amazing idea! I know the women will benefit so greatly. I’ve seen the effect of the uplifting power of just seeing yourself in a different light. These women deserve to be pampered and made to feel special; to be reminded of the beautiful creatures they are! I applaud you and the other beauty bloggers!

For many years, I was a counselor in several domestic violence shelters and hotlines. So I know that part of the abuse suffered by every victim of domestic violence is a degradation of her womanhood: her beauty, her femininity, her sexuality, and her worthiness of physical self care.

In this context, getting a fancy luxury soap or a deluxe hair care product provides a sister with profound recognition of her womanhood in a way that all the counseling in the world cannot do. And it’s a tangible reminder that there is a whole world of sisters out in the world who have her back, if she just dares love herself enough to leave.

Thanks for co-organizing this action. It offers more healing than you can imagine.
