Thousands of viewers of the music video PSA of The Rose will have seen the portraits of 6 survivors of violence against women who courageously and generously allowed us to include their picture in the video, knowing that a global audience will see their faces and note their signs that they are survivors and wonder about the stories behind their hard-won smiles. Our fourth story features Catherine Tanner Pierce, a survivor and co-founder of Spa Fundraiser which helps causes and nonprofits focused on women and children to raise funds.

It is important to me to help bring awareness to domestic violence.  As a child living through domestic violence was very scary.  No one talked about it.  Sometimes we have a picture in our head of what someone who is a victim of domestic violence looks like and it can be very different that what you imagine.

I wanted to share my picture for the Music For Pixels campaign to help people see what a face of a domestic violence victim looks like.  It could be a neighbour, friend or co-worker.  You just never know that’s why we all have to be advocates to end domestic violence.
