Season 5, Episode 179:

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.

And now, years later, we’re bringing that dream full circle with our very first event under the movement—The Courage Couture Gala—happening October 24, 2025, at the Historic Prince George’s Ballroom in Landover, Maryland.

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.

If you’ve ever had a dream that felt bigger than you... this episode is for you.
