Keeping Yourself Safe with Tracy Read


Listen Later

Tracy Read is a wife, a mother, a grandmother, and most importantly, an advocate. When she’s not working her 9-5 as a clinical trial administrator, Tracy is advocating for women’s safety. As someone that has survived domestic violence, and offers support to family members that have survived sexual assault, Tracy is passionate about keeping women safe. She aims to equip women to defend themselves before something bad has to happen to them. While most women don’t consider personal safety devices until after they’ve encountered some sort of attack, Tracy says it should be taught to every woman and child preemptively. 

 

Tracy had a safety wristlet of her own for protection while out on walks alone, but she hadn’t yet considered the collective need. It was actually a Facebook reel from a Texas police officer that pushed Tracy to get involved. The police officer was crying and pleading in the video for women to strap up and be prepared to protect themselves. Tracy jumped in, buying all the safety devices she could find, comparing and contrasting, and ultimately realizing none of them were the quality she was looking for. She went back to her own safety wristlet and looked up the manufacturer, Damsel In Defense.

Tracy joined Damsel In Defense just a few months ago, but within a week she was promoted to pro, and within 60 days, mentor. She’s ready to educate women and young girls on how to spot danger, as well as how to protect themselves. From books and GPS tracking tools, to stun guns and mace, Damsel In Defense is the safety boutique women didn’t know they needed. 



What You’ll Learn:

  • How to look for signs of domestic violence or sexual assault.

  • What type of safety tools Damsel in Defense offers.

  • What to look for in safety devices.
