vote for mary kay in the 2013 corporate citizenship film festival

as i've mentioned in a couple other posts, i started selling mary kay cosmetics this past july. it is really an awesome company because of the care and training they provide to their consultants. they want each of us to succeed in our own way. of course they are concerned with the numbers, they're a business. they are committed to empowering women of all ages, backgrounds, creeds, ethnicity.

the mary kay foundation has a campaign going on right now to help women who are in abusive relationships. this is called, "don't look away" text for help. the next couple of paragraphs are from the mary kay foundation website:

home should be a safe haven. unfortunately, thousands of homes are like war zones each day because of domestic violence.

we want to stop the violence and break the silence... 

...domestic violence is the no. 1 cause of injury for women ages 15 to 44. these victims suffer emotionally too from depression, anxiety or social isolation. domestic abuse occurs to women of all ages, income levels and educational backgrounds. 

(i took out some of the numbers and statistics, but you can find them here.)

10 warning signs of an abusive relationship

• Checking your cell phone or email without permission

• Constantly putting you down

• Extreme jealousy or insecurity

• Explosive temper

• Isolating you from family or friends

• Making false accusations

• Mood swings

• Physically hurting you in any way

• Possessiveness

• Telling you what to do

* these warning signs are provided by loveisrespect.org. discuss your options anonymously by sending the text “loveis” to 77054.

so here is my reason for posting all of this. (this is copied from the consultant website, intouch.)

the 2013 corporate citizenship film festival has begun, and the mary kay corporate social responsibility team needs your help!

the company has submitted a powerful short video that highlights mary kay inc.’s “don’t look away” text for help campaign. in support of this important initiative, mary kay inc. has donated $1 million to loveisrespect.org for this first ever nationwide text-for-help program for teens and young adults.

please submit your vote during the public voting period from feb. 14 – mar 1. the 10 companies with the most votes will advance. be sure to email the link to your friends and family and post it on social media. we need as many votes as possible to help move mary kay’s important video to the final round!

if you or anyone you know needs immediate help, call the national domestic violence hotline at  800-799-SAFE (7233).
