About CCSF

Our Mission

Our Why

Why this foundation exists

As a survivor of molestation and rape, this organization resonates heavily with me. In telling my story and surviving daily, I help others reclaim their lives. At age twelve, I was diagnosed with stage four Endometriosis and Ovarian Cysts; six months later, I had my first major Endometriosis surgery.

I live to advocate for others because of my life experiences, especially women and children, to help their voices become stronger in ways mine were weak. I started my non-profit because I wanted to help others like myself. To give my daughter a healthy place to grow and thrive, with understanding and healthy education.

What We Do

Five ways we show up

01

Education & Support

Student workshops, seminars, sessions, conferences, panels, survivor workshops, and support groups related to Endometriosis and for survivors of Sexual Violence, building open conversation and community understanding.

02

Self-Defense & Body Safety

Self-defense education and activities to help females stay aware of their surroundings and defend themselves, alongside education on respectful touch so they can speak up sooner in moments of sexual violence of any degree.

03

Community Engagement

Vending at local community events, the Be H.E.R. Conference and Gala, the Annual 5K J'ouvert Run/Walk, Family Day, the Mother's Day Brunch, the Feminine Hygiene Product Drive, and pop-up activities throughout the year.

Resource Sourcing

Sourcing feminine hygiene products, food, emergency lodging, therapeutic kits, and items for the SAVE Bag™ through fundraising, distributed to females in our programs and those experiencing homelessness.
