Youth
Confidence Talks & Self Defense Workshops
Empowering young girls is not just our mission, it's our passion. We understand the unique challenges faced by this age group – from dealing with peer pressure and bullying to navigating the complex world of social media and self-identity. Demetra is an engaging, humorous, and personable speaker who brings a wealth of experience and energy to address these pain points and turn them into powerful growth opportunities.
Why This Matters
According to a study by the National Institute of Mental Health, anxiety disorders affect 25.1% of children between 13 and 18 years old, highlighting the need for empowering initiatives that build confidence and resilience. Our confidence talks and self-defense workshops are designed to do just that, providing young girls with the tools they need to feel safe, strong, and self-assured in every aspect of their lives.
​

-
