To accomplish this, she is working diligently to raise the volume of the conversation about domestic abuse. Susan Sparks is the Principal of four enterprises, and one charity, all dedicated to helping people avoid, understand, and prevent domestic abuse; and she has built www.thesoda-pop.com as a home online where people can go for help, education, and to find a community of others who share the same story.
