Meet Mrs. Sathya Callender-Wilson | Serial Entrepreneur & Domestic Violence Advocate

We had the good fortune of connecting with Mrs. Sathya Callender-Wilson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Mrs. Sathya, what do you attribute your success to?
The most important factor behind the success of my brand is consistently delivering high-quality products/services that meet the needs and expectations of our customers. Building and maintaining strong relationships with our customers and providing exceptional customer service are also key factors in our success. Additionally, having a clear and compelling brand message, effective marketing strategies, and a dedicated team of employees who are passionate about our brand and its values all play a crucial role in our success. In addition to that which I feel is even more important is being consistent and showing up for your brand.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Scars of Survival Magazine and Survivors Quest are groundbreaking initiatives that have set themselves apart by being the first of their kind to cater to the domestic violence community. Scars of Survival Magazine is the first publication globally to specifically address the needs and challenges faced by survivors of domestic violence, providing a platform for awareness, support, and empowerment. Survivors Quest, on the other hand, is the first educational board game in the USA designed to educate individuals on domestic violence, offering a unique and interactive way to raise awareness and promote understanding.

My personal journey as a survivor of a 9-year domestic violence relationship has been the driving force behind my passion and dedication to helping other families survive, heal, and thrive. This journey has led me to walk in my purpose and create these innovative resources to support and empower others who have been through similar experiences.

Getting to where I am today in my business has not been easy. I have faced numerous challenges along the way, from personal struggles to logistical hurdles. However, I have overcome these challenges through resilience, determination, and a strong support system. Surrounding myself with a team of dedicated individuals who share my vision and values has been crucial in navigating the obstacles and achieving success.

Through my experiences, I have learned valuable lessons about the power of perseverance, the importance of self-care, and the impact of community support. I have also learned that by sharing our stories and supporting one another, we can create positive change and inspire others to seek help and healing.

I want the world to know that Scars of Survival Magazine and Survivors Quest are more than just products – they are symbols of hope, resilience, and empowerment for survivors of domestic violence. My brand’s story is one of transformation, healing, and advocacy, and I am committed to making a difference in the lives of individuals and families affected by domestic violence. Together, we can break the cycle of abuse, support survivors on their journey to healing, and create a safer and more compassionate world for all. Thank you for being a part of this important mission.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would like to dedicate a shoutout to my husband, Mr. Wilson, who has been my biggest cheerleader and supporter throughout my journey. His unwavering encouragement, love, and belief in me have been instrumental in my success and the success of our brand. I am grateful for his constant support and guidance, and I couldn’t have achieved everything without him by my side. Thank you, Mr. Wilson, for being my rock and my inspiration.
