"She" is on the third leg of her journey and we need your help. The script has been revised to add in more of a story line and build and release tension. We are scheduling some virtual reads on July 5th and 19th, both at 7pm. We are looking for folks to agree to reading a character, and/or to provide feedback on the script and the read. If you are interested in helping out, please consider filling out this form and submitting your interest. Thank you in advance for helping us make this important story come to life in a new way.

This is your reminder to say the things we don’t say often enough.

Tag someone who makes your life feel a little safer, a little lighter, or a little more like you.

Tell them why.

It matters more than you think.

Sometimes there are no visible signs.
Just a quiet shift in how she sees herself.

It can look like doubt where there used to be confidence or fear where there used to be ease.

This is a reminder that support isn’t just for what we can see. It’s for what someone is carrying inside.

By keeping ourselves kind, we can be supporting someone in our community without even knowing what we are doing. Practicing kindness is a skill that benefits everyone.

"She" is more than just a play. "She" is a movement and a community education piece meant to give candid accounts from humans who have been affected. If you have any direct involvement with IPV in your profession, we want to hear from you.

We want to know how supporting survivors has affected you, personally. We promise that we will not ask you any questions about clients personal situations or stories. We promise that your identity will not be disclosed, and that the conversations that you choose to have will allow you to maintain your integrity- both personally and professionally.

Let's help to change the landscape for Victims, Survivors and the Communities that support them.

Questions that make her seem like She had some sort of control over the abuse that she endured are victim-blaming and often prevent other women from coming forward.

Abuse is not her fault. She didn't do anything to deserve being harmed.

Let the detectives be the detectives, and the judges be the judges (and that's a whole other post in itself)

Just be kind.

"If it was that bad, she should have asked for help."

Maybe she didn't know it was "that bad." Maybe she didn't know where to turn.

There are a million reasons that women don't ask for help.
It's embarrassing. It's dangerous. It's stigmatizing.

You can be part of the solution without having all of the answers. You can do this by educating yourself and knowing how important your support is.

"What can I do about it?"

It’s a question many people ask when they don’t fully understand what someone is going through.

This series is here to help bridge that gap.

Each post will offer small shifts in language and perspective that can make a big difference in how someone feels supported.

Because support isn’t about fixing;

it’s about understanding.
