Bre Lasley, Keynote Speaker Attempted Murder Survivor and Co-Founder with Elizabeth Smart of FightLikeGirlss.org

After surviving an attempted murder on September 23, 2015, knowing her attacker was dead, and her little sister was safe, Bre thought her fight was over. Anxious, depressed, and afraid she quickly realized her fight had just begun. Twenty-eight year old Bre powerfully grasp all emotions as she, in her unique personable way, inspires all recounting her miraculous fight story...

"The 6 minutes we fought out attacker were crucial to our survival. Police told us a mere 20% of girls fight back. Which means 80% of girls are being raped and/or murdered. Every single minute since the 6 minutes of physically fighting a man who was trying to kill me has been just as crucial to my continued survival. I looked for help, but wasn't sure where to go. I felt ashamed and embarrassed to talk to anyone, especially a therapist, about my debilitating fear, depression, anxiety, and everything else I was fighting. It seemed like the world kept going while I was stuck all because of someone else's stupid choices. I stated Fight Like Girls to help raise awareness that self defense is just as mental, emotional, and spiritual as it is physical."

Mission of Fight Like Girls: Whether it's poor body image, domestic abuse, violent assault rape, pornography, eating disorders, drug addiction, depression, anxiety, divorce, loss of a loved one, an illness, infertility, bullying, or whatever else our mission is to empower all to choose to keep fighting, to stop victim blaming to self love, to help others, to have hope, and to heal.
