Our President and Founder, Brianna Michelle, is a survivor who understands the traumatic effects of sexual violence, along with the immediate care needed to heal past these experiences. We give survivors the chance to recover from their emotional and/or physical trauma.
There is a void in self-care and empowerment services available to survivors. We want to ensure that survivors of sexual assault/abuse have access to a platform to rebuild their lives and take ownership of their story.
Volunteers and interns are integral to our organization. We love to engage with people who are passionate about our cause, and are willing to give their time to change the lives of others.
