Army Veteran Sumeya Gibril shares her powerful story of founding Rise Above, Be Relentless Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting military sexual trauma survivors through healing, mentorship, and empowerment.

• Experienced childhood sexual trauma and domestic violence from ages 6-11 before migrating to America
• Started the foundation after witnessing how military sexual assault victims were often blamed while perpetrators faced no consequences
• Foundation provides civilian lawyers for active duty women, mental health support, and financial assistance for domestic violence survivors
• Core pillars include "Sustenance comes from the creator, not people" and "Embrace the suck" to help survivors take control of their healing
• Foundation focuses on helping "people who want to help themselves" rather than those who remain in victim mentality
• Emphasizes thorough vetting of claims to maintain credibility and avoid false accusations
• Upcoming events include a gala on August 20th at Tower Club in Tysons Corner and a golf tournament on September 29th at Belmont Country Club
• Vision to expand nationally and eventually internationally to support women worldwide
• Advises survivors to channel anger productively, recognize their inherent worth, and take back their power

Join us for our upcoming events! The military service gala on August 20th at Tower Club Tysons and our charity golf tournament on September 29th at Belmont Country Club. Visit riseaboveberelentless.betterworld.org to learn more.
