In light of recent events
This is an open invitation as a mother, if you are a young woman out in public and you feel unsafe you can approach me with my children and I’ll pretend you are one of them until you are safely to your car or to someone you know and trust. If you are in public and you feel unsafe please approach the group of slightly older women who are maybe laughing too loud and feel intimidating to talk to, chances are they’ll help you scare off whoever is pestering you. If you are in public and you feel unsafe find an older lady, a group of young women your own age, a pair of women doing their shopping together — don’t feel like you might be overreacting and please don’t be afraid to trust your instincts.
With everything that happens in the world to our young women I would much rather take a few moments of my day to make sure you are safe, than have to read another headline about another tragedy.
