"Every woman deserves to feel seen, valued, and worthy of beauty — no matter where she has been."
Pass the Beauty Inc. was founded on the belief that beauty is not a luxury — it is a right. We serve women who have survived the unsurvivable, offering programs that restore confidence, nurture mental wellness, and rebuild lives from the inside out.
Our Foundation
The Core Message of Pass the Beauty Inc.
"You deserve to be seen, supported, safe, and empowered."
— Cintoria Franklin, Founder & Executive Director
Pass the Beauty Inc. was created from survival, faith, and a commitment to ensure that no one feels invisible while facing domestic violence, homelessness, bullying, trauma, or mental health challenges.
As the founder of Pass the Beauty Inc., I do not lead this work from a place of theory alone. I am a survivor of domestic violence. I understand what it feels like to live in fear, lose parts of yourself, question your worth, and wonder whether anyone truly sees what you are experiencing. I also understand the courage it takes to leave, rebuild, heal, and find your voice again.
My survival became part of my purpose.
Pass the Beauty Inc. exists to help people recognize that what happened to them does not have to define the rest of their lives. We create safe spaces where individuals can be heard without judgment, connect with support, understand their options, rebuild their confidence, and begin healing at their own pace.
We believe beauty is more than physical appearance.
- Beauty is finding your voice after being silenced.
- It is setting boundaries after experiencing control.
- It is asking for help after believing you had to carry everything alone.
- It is seeing value in yourself again after someone tried to make you feel worthless.
That is why our numbers matter.
When we report how many people attend our support groups, complete an intake, receive housing assistance, access food, participate in youth programs, or connect with community resources, we are not simply counting services. Every number represents a person with a name, a story, a family, and a future.
One person
may represent a mother trying to escape an unsafe relationship.
One intake
may represent someone finally feeling brave enough to ask for help.
One housing placement
may represent a person sleeping safely for the first time in months.
One support group participant
may represent a woman discovering that she is not alone.
One young person reached
may represent an opportunity to interrupt bullying, violence, or trauma before it continues into adulthood.
Numbers help us measure our impact, identify unmet needs, strengthen our programs, and show funders and community partners why continued support is necessary. However, we will never allow the numbers to erase the people. Behind every number is a human life. Behind every service is a moment of trust. Behind every success is a person who decided to take one more step forward.
Pass the Beauty Inc. is committed to helping individuals move from surviving to healing, from silence to advocacy, and from feeling invisible to knowing that their lives and voices matter.
I survived domestic violence, but my story did not end with what happened to me. My story became a bridge for others. Through Pass the Beauty Inc., I use my voice, lived experience, leadership, and faith to remind people that healing is possible, that support is available, and that they do not have to walk their journey alone.
We count people because people count.

Spreading Awareness on
Community Safety & Domestic Violence
At Pass the Beauty Inc., we believe that silence is not safety. Through education, community outreach, and courageous conversations, we are committed to breaking the cycle of domestic violence and building neighborhoods where every woman and child can live free from fear.
Community Outreach Events
We host and participate in community events, health fairs, and neighborhood gatherings to bring domestic violence awareness directly to the people who need it most. Our outreach meets women where they are — in their communities, in their spaces, and on their terms.
Education & Resource Sharing
Knowledge is power. We distribute educational materials, connect survivors with local resources, and facilitate workshops that help women recognize the signs of abuse, understand their rights, and access the support systems available to them in Nashville and beyond.
Safe Spaces & Survivor Support
Our programs create safe, judgment-free environments where survivors can speak their truth, receive emotional support, and begin the journey toward healing. Through our Beauty & Wellness Mental Health Program and Crisis Support services, no woman has to face her story alone.
