Ellen Lewis / LINGERIE BRIEFS

Ellen is the founder, principal partner and publisher of Lingerie Briefs. She has been an integral participant in the Intimate Apparel Industry for over 40 years, working on both the retail and manufacturing sides of the business. Her mission is to identify quality, wherever it lives.

Jacob Miller / PURPLE STRONG

Jacob founded Purple Strong to help survivors tell their stories because he's lived both sides of domestic violence. Growing up with an artist mom and a dad who could be violent showed him that creativity and healing go hand in hand. After years of personal work, he launched Purple Boudoir photography studio. Now, through Purple Strong, he's using documentary filmmaking to help break the cycle of abuse. Their fundraising work honors his mom's memory.

Heidi Morrison / HEIDI'S LEATHER & LACE

A domestic violence survivor turned advocate, Heidi founded Leather & Lace with a mission to help others rediscover their strength and confidence. Her journey from single mom to entrepreneur taught her the power of transformation. As a boudoir stylist partnering with Purple Strong, she understands how finding your voice - and your confidence - can change everything. Today, she's dedicated to helping other survivors tell their stories of healing and hope.
