Martina McBride has never experienced abusive relationships first hand. It was her fans who inspired her to reach out and support this cause. The touching letters she received from victims of domestic violence after the release of “Independence Day” led her to learn more about the issue. As the mother of a teenage daughter, she wanted to ensure that her daughter was never hurt in a relationship which is why she decided to focus on teen dating abuse.

My Time to Shine was initially launched with Martina’s album “Shine” and will go along with her as she launches the Shine All Night Tour with Trace Adkins. She believes that the teen years are a young person’s time to shine – the time in their lives when they discover who they are, what their talents are and how to have healthy relationships.
