Divas In Defense was started by two brothers raised by a single mother who was a victim of molestation and domestic violence. They are now fathers with daughters and significant others. They pledge to prevent the violence their mother faced to as many women and girls as they can.
It is our mission to empower women of all ages with the training and tools imperative to their personal safety and the safety of their families. Through fun, instinctive learning; women gain the knowledge to protect and arm themselves while gaining confidence to be Fierce & Fabulous!
