Tell us a little bit about the event you’re hosting.
The event is for Loveisrespect.org and it’s for their “Louder Than Words” launch, and I’m here because I’m the ambassador for Mark. The campaign is dedicated to stopping abuse and domestic violence. They recently created youth advisory board with the National Dating Abuse Helpline.
Who are you most excited to see at the party tonight?
I got to meet a couple of the girls who are the board. They’re all very smart girls who are very dedicated. I admire what they’re doing, especially at young age; it’s incredible and really inspiring.
Loveisrespect.org did a search, working with the National Dating Abuse Helpline. They had to write essays, explaining how domestic violence has affected them. Twenty-four girls were selected and now they’re all out there making a difference, making sure people my age and younger are aware of dating abuse.
The most impressive part is that they’re getting down to the bottom of the issue, explaining that it doesn’t have to physical. It can start with sending erratic text messages and being jealous—things that escalate into something. Making people aware is the most the important thing. We have to stop the cycle while we’re young, because once you’ve been involved in an abusive relations, it’s a lot harder to break that pattern.
