Raising Our Voices Against Domestic Violence Domestic Violence, Sexual Harassment, and RAPE have been going on for centuries, but have only recently been apart of open discussion. It is amazing how people are shocked and surprised when hearing victims recall these stories publicly. Let’s face it, either we have been or know and love someone who has been a victim of Domestic Violence, Sexual Harassment, &/or RAPE. These acts continue because they are based on a foundation of power and control.

So, how do we fight back? With our voices! Continue to share our stories and support others that share their story. Do not be intimidated nor distracted by the overwhelming nonsense and ‘victim blaming’ that has been portrayed by some. Understand that no human being desires to become a victim of these horrendous acts. Get involved!! Volunteer, donate, be a listening ear.

This issue features women and men who have made a decision to raise their voices against Domestic Violence!!!

We invite you to join us for our OVERCOMING Domestic Violence Fashion Show Saturday Oct 27, 2018 This fashion show will focus on Domestic Violence Awareness while celebrating the OVERCOMING spirit in us all.

A portion of the proceeds will go to Artemis Center For Ticket & vending information visit

3 Myths About Skin

Debbie Howard Independent Beauty Consultant I think it is safe to say if you are reading this you have skin. Our skin is our largest and most important organ. In fact, you cannot live without your skin. So, it is important to take care of it through every stage of our lives.

I’m going to talk about the 3 most common myths about your skin and share some myth busting facts. My hope is that you will come away from this more informed and learn how to better pick products for yourself.

Myth #1: “I don’t wear makeup, so I don’t need to wash my face.”

False! Our skin is made up of over 700 trillion skin cells that help protect us from germs, regulate our temperature, and help us to “feel” things. Our skin collects dirt, oil, and pollution from the environment throughout the day. In fact, scientists have discovered that only 20% of the visible signs of aging comes from the natural aging process, i.e. your genes. The other 80% comes from stress, inadequate sleep, poor diet and low water consumption, sun exposure, and other environmental factors.

We lose between 30,000-40,000 skin cells each hour, almost 1 million cells in 24 hours and a third of that is while we sleep. So, you can see why it’s important to cleanse your skin in the morning to help remove the dead skin cells lost overnight and then cleanse your skin before going to bed to remove the dirt, oil, and pollution from the day and prepare your skin for its rejuvenation process while you sleep.

3 Myths About Skin Cont.

Myth #2: “I buy whatever is on sale because it’s all the same.”

False! It’s important to find a skincare regimen that works for you and stick with it. Your body becomes adjusted to the products you are using so when you start mixing brands or switching back and forth, you are creating chemical warfare on your skin. Each skincare company uses different ingredients which have been tested to work together with their other formulas. When you mix brands, you reduce the effectiveness of the products and could potentially cause an allergic reaction.

Remember, when you are looking for a skincare regimen to find one that contains antioxidants, like B vitamins, to help fight free radicals from the environment, and peptides, to help support the skin’s natural collagen and elastin.

Myth #3: “I have oily skin, so I don’t need a moisturizer.”

False! Regardless of what skin type you have, you need a moisturizer.

Moisturizers help reduce blemishes by keeping your pH balanced. Remember all those skin cells you lose every day? Moisturizers help your skin repair itself. Want to fight wrinkles? A moisturizer can help by keeping your skin properly hydrated.

The key is to find a moisturizer that is designed for your skin type and need.

The good news is that none of this needs to be complicated, you just need to know where to look and who to ask. Find someone that is knowledgeable and will take their time to help you find the right skincare that is perfect for you. Your skin will love you for that. Here’s to happy, healthy skin!!!

Jay Dewberry

Cinta Kavanaugh a proud mother of two. “I am a survivor of Domestic Violence and this is the first year that I have went public with my story.

In order for me to go public I had to begin to forgive the one who hurt me, overcome the humiliation and have courage!”

“I hold my head high knowing that the gift of Empowerment is a gift that has been spoken over me! Empowering, to me, starts with our youth! Showing our children how to love themselves while encouraging their dreams is a way to begin to ENCOURAGE OUR YOUTH to grow into strong Men and Women!”

Daughter

Jay Dewberry is a high school Sophomore.

“I lost my Father at a young age and I am truly grateful to have my Mother! My Mother and I have a strong bond and I have learned so much from her. My mother has taught me how to love myself and others! Understanding how to love myself and love others allows me to encourage so many people!”

“In high school it is hard to maintain the day to day struggles as a teenager (grades, friendships, sports, teacher/student relationships, and life activities). My plan is to begin an organization to help students with maintaining the struggles that teenagers experience. My hope is that my organization will encourage teenagers to stay in school and decrease high school drop out rates.”
