I wish other women/girls could experience THIS feeling of girrrrlpower, instead of listening to Cosmo and Glamour to tell them where their power lies.
This class exceeded my expectations! I looked forward to class and the chance to practice my skills. I enjoyed the supportive environment and the space to develop strategies for confronting harassment.
Lauren is very encouraging and patient. An excellent teacher, she makes everyone feel comfortable.
Thank you for a wonderful class. I will spread the word around my high school and to every interested girl/woman I know!
I feel more confident and like I can get through anything.
Everybody needs this!
This class has given me a powerful toolkit and the confidence to yell “NO” and know I have every right to say it. It’s helped me rethink my personal boundaries and feel good about maintaining them.
Her calm, steady energy felt reassuring.
This class was a springboard. Now I know where I need to go in the rest of my life.
The teachers role-modeled being strong women.
