About the org:
IMPACT Bay Area is a non-profit that offers violence-prevention programs for people to embody their own power, set effective boundaries, and defend their physical and emotional safety. We build safe spaces that focus on serving women, LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and teens.
My story:
I came across IMPACT while looking for a self-defense class prior to going on a solo international trip. I took the Women’s Basics class in 2019, and it turned out to be so much more than just a self-defense class.
As an Asian-American who grew up trying not taking up space, IMPACT was the first time I discovered, felt, and truly embraced my own power. Through this program, I've been able to find my voice, set boundaries, and defend myself with strength and courage that I never thought I had. It has inspired me to live a life without fear, knowing that I have the skill and strength to navigate conflict and protect myself whether it be on the streets of a foreign country or in a meeting at work.
IMPACT has personally been one of the most transformative and empowering experiences for me, and I would love for more women to experience this. The world will be a more beautiful place when women can embrace their power and confidently live the lives they want.
I invite you to support bringing this experience to more women and expanding the reach of this amazing program to underserved communities.
