“I want you
to know that I still haven’t quite recovered from that experience of domestic
violence. I am trying, but my core trust… a sweet innocence has died”,
expresses Jody R. Weiss in her open letter explaining the motives behind her
business. Jody Weiss is the founder of Peacekeeper Cause-metics, a “for
benefit” makeup company. The company strives to aid those who have suffered
from physical or emotional domestic violence. As a survivor of emotional abuse,
Jody uses her “righteous anger” to fuel her goals. Peacekeeper donates all of
their proceeds before tax to various charities which help women and children
escape toxic and unhealthy domestic situations or that help them cope with the
effects of being abused. Jody’s overall goal is simple “Jody envisioned through
this company, women and men learning deep respect for each other. She envisioned no more patriarchy and no more
matriarchy, but humanity finally emerging as truly equal”. She wants to use her
company to create a healthy and peaceful environment where everyone is treated
and valued equally. Jody tries to surround herself with positive energy as she
describes in her letter “as a peace activist and a student of what real love
looks like, I would rather find and hold the compassion for those wounded
people and move on and be with men and women who lift me up”. In addition to
donation the profits to charity, Jody wants to ensure that her employees are
treated well. Her ideals and standards include using slavery-free labor, paying
all employees fair living wages and using cruelty free products. Jody’s mission
is clearly powerful and compelling as her company has raised $ 56,584.00.
