Becoming Fearless: Real Stories of Female Warriors
Help us build a storytelling platform that empowers women through the voices of female fighters and athletes.
Hi, we’re Jennifer, Nathalie, and Amarins, three women on a mission to change how women see themselves, and how the world sees them.
We’re building Becoming Fearless, a storytelling platform that shares inspiring stories from female martial artists and athletes from around the world.
We’re uniting female fighters worldwide to redefine what strength looks like, empowering women everywhere to embrace their feminine masculine power and rise above the fake, filtered perfection on social media.
Why We’re Doing This
Every day, women are bombarded with unrealistic standards of beauty and success.
Social media feeds us unrealistic images that damage women’s confidence and mental health. It shows us “perfect” bodies and AI-filtered faces, not real women with strength, scars and stories overcoming adversity and obstacles.
This social pressure creates anxiety, low self-worth, and a distorted idea of what being a woman means.
We believe it’s time for a change!
By sharing real stories of female fighters and athletes, we aim to break stereotypes, give women the representation they deserve, and inspire them to embrace their own strength. Women who stand tall in the ring, on the street, at work and in life.
The Challenge Women Face in Combat Sports
Women in combat sports face not only physical challenges but also societal barriers.
While progress has been made in breaking gender stereotypes and increasing participation, many obstacles still exist, including unequal pay, limited sponsorship and media coverage, and restricted access to resources.
These challenges reinforce the perception that combat sports are a male-dominated arena, often discouraging women from stepping into the ring.
We want to welcome and unite all female martial artists to make a stand.
What We’re Creating
We’re producing a YouTube series that features:
• In-depth interviews with well-known and up-and-coming global
female martial artists and athletes
• Short street interviews at boxing and sports gyms, sharing raw and
honest stories from everyday women
• A digital storytelling platform that brings these journeys of
empowerment together, creating a community that uplifts, inspires,
and connects.
Why We Need Your Help
We can’t make Becoming Fearless alone.
Your support will help us:
• Film, produce, and edit our first 10 episodes in high quality
• Promote the videos on social media so they reach women who need
them most
• Build the online platform and grow a community of fearless women
To make this happen, we need €8,500.
Every donation, no matter the size, helps us get one step closer to bringing these powerful stories to life.
Because even strong women need allies.
