Day 25 of Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month:

What is Grooming?

When someone builds trust and emotional connection so they can manipulate and control the other person.

5 Stages of Grooming:

1. Building access and trust

2. Filling needs

3. Isolation and Secrecy

4. Exploration and Normalization

5. Maintaining power and control

Day 24 of Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month:

What is National Denim Day? 👖
💙 Please join us TODAY, Wednesday, April 24th. Make a statement by wearing jeans TODAY as a sign to reject victim-blaming and misconceptions that surround sexual violence.

💙 The campaign began after a ruling by the Italian Supreme Court where a rape conviction was overturned because the justices felt that since the victim was wearing tight jeans she must have helped the person who raped her remove her jeans, thereby implying consent.

💙 There is no excuse and never an invitation to rape.

💙 Today and always, stand with survivors of sexual violence. There’s hope, love, healing and restoration after sexual assault. 👖

~ Be Watchful ~

Greetings,
Hope you are well and enjoying your Holiday season.

This time of year is beautiful, when family and friends get together for celebrations and gatherings.
But unfortunately, this is also the time of year when our feeling of love, joyfulness and trust is taken advantage of.
Sadly, some of us may be in the company of individual (s) that’s “questionable”, “rumored” or “suspicious” family member, friend or stranger.

Parents, listen carefully to your inner voice, acknowledge it and be watchful not only over your child but all  children present.
Regardless if the person is a family member, friend of the family, older cousin, siblings, uncles, aunts, etc; keep an eye on your precious babies and do not trust or leave them with anyone.

If you’re not comfortable leaving your child somewhere, DON’T DO IT.

If all of the kids are in one room, family room/basement, volunteer to chaperone and watch all of the kids.

Be sure no one go in the bathroom, closet or off into any other closed room. If something or someone seems out of the ordinary to you,  address it. 

As always, be safe and have a blessed holiday everyone. Mitzi 🙏

Beautiful Black and White “Gift of Love” Baskets!

These black and white themed “gift of love” baskets came out so pretty! This ceramic purse can only hold but so much, so I’ll leave the handle separate for now.
🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍
Baskets are complete with shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, body sponge, body wash, fingernail polish remover, fingernail polish, high heel perfume set, manicure set, makeup bag, ankle socks, composition notebook, mini notebook, hand soap, hand mirror, eye mask and eyes, lips and face holder.

Our assignment is to provide girls (ages 8-18) with a “Gift of Love” basket complete with toiletries and/or school supplies (deodorant, lotion, soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrush, notebooks, pens, pencils, etc.).

Our prayer is that each girl is inspired to do the following:
– Allowed to be herself.
– Develop a sense of who she wants to be.
– Become a strong, positive, productive individual in society.

Yes May is FINALLY HERE!!!

April was a BUSY MONTH! My team member Leslie and I conducted four “Keeping it Moving to a Better YOU” workshops last month in Dorchester and Brockton, Massachusetts. The workshops were so needed and truly worthwhile. We provided Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention information, Self-esteem, Self-confidence and Self-love documentation. We had a great time presenting and the girls that came out were awesome! They really enjoyed and received from the workshop. Reading the survey results we received very encouraging feedback to know how we were doing and they listened so intently and had great ideas and comments. Every workshop we conducted was very inspiring, informative and helpful.

If you would like Leslie and I to present our free “Keeping it Moving to a Better YOU” workshop, please contact me at mitzicarrasquillo@gmail.com or 301.536.3662. We’ll be glad to add you to our schedule. Our primary goal is inform, inspire and encourage young girls to walk out their purpose in life. Hope to hear from you soon!
