At a critical time in our history, the effects of 2020, COVID-19, and the civil unrest across Black Lives Matter and the US Presidential Election has skyrocketed domestic violence in American homes. Susanne, the YWCA and Barbicide are working to eliminate the stigma around the conversation, expand awareness and invite knowledge and education to our society, their first step: the beauty professional. Susanne’s goal is to change legislation so that continuing education curriculum must include domestic violence education. An initiative that is shockingly under-addressed.
