Bringing self-defense and self-love to all in need!
Several months ago, my lifelong friend/sister and I decided to do whatever we can to serve the women here in our country, women from the Native Nations who suffer from extremely high rates of domestic and sexual violence.
We are working together to match resources with the needs of each unique community. Funds for programs like this are severely lacking in the Native Community (https://www.insidephilanthropy.com/home/2018/2/27/why-arent-community-foundations-supporting-native-american-causes).
Lindsey is a certified self-defense instructor, and social and environmental impacts are at the heart of her passion, expertise and focus. I, Jillian, have been a high school teacher and advocate for victims for many years, and wants to help women embrace the benefits of self-empowerment and self-love practices. We are developing a program which will meet the needs of various Indigenous communities around the country: Lindsey enlarging her self-defense and martial arts training, while Jillian becomes certified in yoga and mindfulness practices. We believe self-love and self-empowerment can take many forms.
In order to make this journey as sustainable as possible, with the least negative impact on the environment, we will travel by bike around the reservations when we begin our tour in 2019. Food and other supplies will also be required along the way. Any contribution you make will help support and advance the cause further.
