Tonya Renee Meisenbach is a survivor, advocate, beauty creator, and proud U.S. Ambassador for Face Forward International. In 2018, she survived a devastating act of domestic violence that left her with severe facial burns and life altering injuries. What followed was a long journey of reconstruction, healing, and reclaiming her identity.

Through the expert surgical care and support of Face Forward International, Tonya underwent transformative facial reconstruction that restored not only her features, but her confidence and hope for the future.

Today, Tonya uses her platform as Burned Beauty 2018 to raise awareness about domestic violence, educate others about narcissistic abuse, and empower survivors to see strength in their scars. As the U.S. Ambassador, she is committed to advancing Face Forward’s mission of providing life changing reconstructive surgery and compassionate support to survivors.

Tonya stands as living proof that healing is possible and that survivors deserve to thrive.
