Beauty for Ashes, today she is a Public Speaker, Empowerment Coach, Philanthropist and Influencer. She uses her pain and suffering to empower others.

She has been interviewed by different news medias and spoken at various events.

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
In China, there is a saying, “You have to overcome all obstacles in order to become the best of the best.” Eileen Dong’s journey certainly has not been easy. Ever since multiple domestic violence battery altercations, her life has never been the same. She went from multimillionaire to nothing. She had to stay at shelters, take greyhound buses, get rides from dangerous men who almost raped her… However, every adventure comes with dangers. This didn’t stop her. Because of that, she how can relay her pain and suffering to other victims and survivors. Instead, this strengthened her and put in her heart to dedicate herself to help other victims and survivors so as not to go through this again.
Please tell us about Hope Pyx Global.
In the Asian culture, a victim might have stayed in an abusive relationship because of a concept of honor or shame. Honoring the Asian heritage while also trying to honor their sense of freedom and justice in the Western culture, they saw getting help as bringing dishonor to his family and not an act of empowerment. Therefore, women do not dare to speak up, neither is there an Asian voice who understands their culture. As a survivor, Eileen Dong is here to break the silence. “If you build it, he will come.” She has founded Hope Pyx Global, a 501(c)3, dedicated to families from all background who are victims and survivors of domestic abuse, human trafficking.
She has successfully launched Hope Pyx Global in 50 days releasing the first PSA in 16 days with 8,400 combined social media views alone and highest post reach of 1,380 in 5 days. The empowerment and awareness song, Butterfly, (www.hopepyxglobal.org/butterfly) was released during its one-year anniversary.
Hope Pyx Global co-hosted the Domestic Violence Awareness Conference in 47 days, followed by the #DVAM365 campaign in 10 days, as well as the Christmas event for the survivors in 102 days. In 58 days Hope Pyx Global became part of Houston 20’s anti-human trafficking coalition. Her recent human trafficking awareness speech at the movie screening jointly with UNICEF and University of Houston Downtown (UHD) was a great success.
Hope Pyx Global has now expanded its footprints to help victims and survivors in California and Georgia.
Hope Pyx Global received Recognition from Congress as well as from the City of Houston. It was also mentioned in World Hall of Fame. It has been broadcasting in multiple languages throughout the international communities to bring awareness and empowerment.
Their PSA “This Isn’t a House” (https://youtu.be/vp73zY1Z-78) has won the LA Addys Award. The empowerment and awareness song, Butterfly, (www.hopepyxglobal.org/butterfly) was released on October 1st, 2019 around the world. Hope Pyx Global will be hosting an Anti-Human Trafficking Conference soon.
