This is probably the most vulnerable Iāve ever been on my page, but this is something that matters deeply to me and I want to do what I can to help end sexual and dating violence.
I hate how normalized SA has become. It shouldnāt be something we just accept as ācommon.ā Things have to change.
Thatās why @safe_bae ās work matters so much. They focus on shifting culture early by giving young people the tools to understand consent, respect boundaries, and create something better. Prevention has to start early, with education, conversation, and accountability.
This month (#SexualAssaultAwarenessMonth), Iām using my platform to support that work by raising awareness, funding, and hopefully helping build connections that can expand their reach.
If you want to support:
Donate, share this post, share @safe_bae content, follow @safe_bae or reach out if you have connections that could help.

5 years ago today, we lost our Daisy. She was so much more than a co-founder of SafeBAEāshe was an absolute force of nature, a fierce advocate, and a light to everyone who knew her.
Today, we remember her laugh, her smile, her fire, and the mission she poured her heart into.
We will never stop fighting for the change she deserved.
Stay strong, sweetheart. š¤
We miss you. We honor you. We keep goingāfor you.
