IMPACT Safety

This empowerment self-defense workshop teaches practical, realistic safety skills focused on awareness, communication, and confidence. Participants will learn how to recognize risk early, set clear boundaries, and make informed safety decisions in everyday life. Designed for all experience levels, this supportive session emphasizes empowerment, choice, and community connection.

Empowerment starts before crisis

It takes a special kind of commitment to stand beside a mission for the long haul. And when one of our longest supporters shows up, we show up right back.

We’re proud to share this beautiful community event happening in Columbus — Love Letters to Black Girls. A space created by dedicated women to pour affirmation, care, and truth into the lives of Black girls who deserve to feel seen, valued, and celebrated.

As an organization that believes everyone can be safer and stronger from the inside out, we know that empowerment doesn’t start in a crisis. It starts with connection. It starts with belonging. It starts with words that remind young people who they are before the world tries to define them.

To one of IMPACT’s longest supporters: thank you for continuing to build spaces like this. Thank you for investing in confidence, voice, and community. This is how we change outcomes. This is how we build safety from the inside out.

If you’re in Columbus, join them on Saturday, February 28th from 1:00–3:00pm at The Good Haus. Let’s continue creating rooms where Black girls know they are powerful, protected, and worthy.
