Cultural nuance and a clear understanding of the societal norms that enable GBV must be addressed to combat this violence effectively.

GBV is a GLOBAL issue. It is a human rights issue that we must all commit to eradicating. Join the fight for gender-equity.

Backstory: I’m a professional MMA fighter, a self-defensive instructor, and a Marine Corps veteran. When I was 18 a fatal tragedy in my family opened my eyes to the prevalence of gender oppression. That was my entry into this education and work. I’m committed to learning, teaching, and galvanizing others into being warriors for equity and justice.
