Samantha is a domestic abuse awareness Ambassador, educating and empowering others to enhance their knowledge and understanding of domestic abuse. A survivor, turning her abuse into awareness. Samantha is a survivor of domestic abuse who wants to be the support she never had. She didn’t realise how controlled and abused she had been until she escaped the abuser.
