Now owned by international speaker and self-defense expert Nicole Snell, Girls Fight Back was founded in 2001 by Erin Weed in honor of her friend and sorority sister, Shannon McNamara. Girls Fight Back’s mission is to provide practical and empowering options for women and girls to learn violence prevention, awareness, boundary setting and physical self-defense techniques in a fun, supportive, judgement free and upbeat environment. Our mission expanded in 2015 with the addition of several gender inclusive programs designed to make preventing violence and fighting back an approachable topic for everyone. Girls Fight Back has reached over 1 million people worldwide at colleges, K-12 schools, corporations, conventions, the US military and private groups with our live, high energy, interactive seminars designed to help people live a safer life, feel more confident in their options and be their own best protector. Programs are customizable and available as onsite seminars or virtual webinars. Nicole addresses a variety of topics including self-defense, empowerment, travel safety, hiking/running safety, sexual harassment, campus safety, corporate safety training, boundary setting, assertive communication, sexual assault prevention, and consent. She developed a new program, Yes I'm Hiking Solo: Self-Defense for the Outdoors to address safety for solo travelers, hikers and outdoor adventurers. She is dedicated to empowering people around the world to live a badass, fearless life! Visit www.nicolesnell.com and www.girlsfightback.com for more details on all available programs.
