WHO WE ARE
We are a collective of women and non-binary media safety experts with diverse backgrounds and specialties.
Our safety training and advising is rooted in our lived experience and in our lengthy careers as journalists.
We built on our expertise during the inaugural Next Gen Safety Trainer Fellowship —an initiative to make journalist safety more inclusive and contemporary.
We commit to a culture of accountability and recognize that understandings of inclusion and equity are always evolving.
We aspire to grow with those understandings and invite a collaborative conversation about how that growth can and should happen.
WHAT WE DO
We offer holistic, trauma-informed, identity-centered safety training for journalists, documentarians, and media-makers working in a various contexts.
We provide consultations to newsrooms, media agencies, NGOs, and companies on how to make existing safety training more inclusive, equitable, and trauma-informed. We also help organizations create and implement inclusive, equity-focused safety trainings.
HOW WE DO IT
Our training relies on comprehensive threat modeling and risk assessment that incorporates mental health, cultural environments, digital safety, first aid and situational awareness. Our approach encourages participants to use their lived experiences and professional resources to come up with mitigation tools that actually fit the individual and meet the challenges of evolving and shifting environments.
