Hey Thrive Tribe! This week, I’m taking y’all on a journey—a story rooted in pain, purpose, and power.

In this special episode, I’m sharing how the SAAVE ME Movement came to life back in 2018, what inspired its creation, and why it’s so deeply personal to me as a survivor and advocate.

This ain’t just a gala. It’s a black-tie formal experience that honors the resilience of survivors and brings awareness to the impact of sexual violence.
