Imagine a world where everyone feels safe, confident, and empowered…
That’s the vision behind “Get Empowered.”
Everyone deserves to feel safer and more confident in their daily lives. Unfortunately, the reality is that women and LGBTQIA+ folks face higher risks of harassment, assault, and assault — especially if they’re also BIPOC, disabled, or otherwise marginalized. Empowerment self-defense is not just about physical skills; it’s about boundary setting; fostering a mindset of resilience, awareness, and personal power; and more!
“Get Empowered” provides essential tools to build your confidence and safety. But the journey to empowerment doesn’t end with reading a book. It’s also about applying what you’ve learned and building a strong support system.
That’s where our monthly virtual gathering comes in. Whether you’ve read “Get Empowered” before, or this is your first time, our book circle offers a supportive community to deepen your understanding and empower you to take action. By joining this intimate community, you’ll gain access to ongoing support, expert guidance, and practical tools to help you integrate the book’s teachings into your life. Sharing experiences, asking questions, and learning from others can significantly deepen your understanding and empower you to take action.
Part book circle, part AMA (Ask Me Anything) it’s a community where you can connect with others on similar journeys, delve deeper into the wisdom of “Get Empowered,” and gain ongoing support on your journey to safety and confidence.
