Suzanne Perry was a 22-year victim of domestic violence, who took her torture and turned it into a torch. Using her experiences, and powered by the support of other survivors, she lights the way for all who have been bullied and abused to find their inner gifts, develop strength, and build the confidence needed to live a healthy, giving and rewarding life outside the confines of abuse. She founded OP Music House, a non-profiit outreach organization raising awareness and prevention of domestic violence through speaking engagements, live music events and social media. In March of 2012 she started Hot Jam Media, an outlet to showcase entrepreneurs and bands on a shoestring budget. Today she stands as a leader, mentor and resilient symbol of hope.  She is a professional brand ambassador, co-author, blogger,  radio host, established Hot Jam Media Magazine, and when not out talking up brands, Suzanne can be found in the classroom as a Junior Achievement volunteer teacher. (Cont’d) 8
