As we celebrate the fourth anniversary of Woman with a Weapon, I am filled with immense pride and gratitude for the incredible journey we've been on together. What began as a passion project has blossomed into a powerful community committed to safety, empowerment, and personal growth. Over the years, we've trained hundreds of women, helping them gain the skills and confidence to protect themselves and their loved ones.
