We’re working to end Gender, Ethnic, Racial, and Sexual Violence, one workshop at a time
Human equity cannot be attained as long as Predator Culture prevails. The first step to changing the Predator Mindset and Culture is to design a new paradigm of human interaction that includes educations, self-worth, and the knowledge that we can guarantee our safety.
Our Mission
We focus on empowering women, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, members of marginalized communities, and men & boys to develop and hold healthy relationships, work to prevent and end the cycle of violence, and become influencers and leaders in spaces affecting their health and safety but which have silenced and ignored their voices.
How do we do it?
The key to ending Gender-, Sexual-, Ethnic-, Racial-, and Other Forms of Discrimination-based Violence is Personal Empowerment Tempered with Empathy.

Our Values
We Believe:
The Pioneering Spirit is rooted in the belief that we are free to succeed and that it is safe to fail, get up, and try again.
Empowerment, tempered by Empathy, is the key to ending the abuse and insecurity intrinsic in Predator Culture.
That a world where everyone feels safe and confident in living healthy, free, bold, connected lives is possible within our lifetime.
We all carry a dictionary with vocabulary learned through the lens of our personal experience. We must also carry 7.5 billion Thesauri if we expect to communicate effectively and honor those around us.
