You are my role model
I just happened to stumble across your website when I was on google, and the words "Just Yell Fire" caught my attention. Once I was on your website and saw what it was about...well words can't really describe how I felt! I live in the state of Georgia and I'm in 7th grade, but you'd be surprised to know about alot of the stuff that's happened at my school. Well one day I went to school only to find out that my best friend was almost raped that past weekend. And I was so scared for her because I myself have been in that situation before. And after seeing this...I have alot of respect for you (this coming from a 13 year old)
And I'm proud of you for going out and actually doing your best to make a difference in the world! Because all over the world girls are constantly being put into a position where their first natural instinct is to panic, and they don't know what to do. All they know is that they are being assaulted but with your help and inspirational video women can know that they can go out and not be scared because they automatically know now what to do if placed in a frightening situation like the one's in your video. Now thanks to you women can fight back without being scared that a man twice their size can overpower them. Because finally women have a system that will work everytime in any assault situation. And I would like to personally thank you for starting this non-profit organization "Just Yell Fire" for women in need all over the world.
Also I'd like to congradulate you for your awards. And it's funny, because most kids have a role model that's a celebrity, but I can honestly say that Dallas, you are my role model and I wish that I was able to make as big a difference as you! Oh and by the way, I'm definitely going to be telling just about everyone I know about "Just Yell Fire"
Making society a better place to live
Dear Just Yell Fire activists,
My Name is Aya and I'm 17 years old from Egypt. I adore your idea about teaching girls how to fight back against sexual assault and raping.If you allow me I'd love to help you in applying the idea in the Egyptian society.There have been increasing number of rapping and sexual assault accidents and girls don't talk about that.I have downloaded the film and I learned so much and now I don't worry anymore about walking in the street freely.Anyway,if there's any ideas about how i can raise the awarness here in Egypt I'd love to be part of your campaign.I'm also a begginer activist in a non-profit organization called ( KONOZ ) that cares about making the society a better place to live. Thanks in advance.
Sincerely, Aya
You have strength and hearts of gold for spreading awareness of this kind. I have 3 daughters, aged 14, 8, and 6, and I can't stress enough as to the worry that I have on a daily basis being their mother, I worry about them walking to and home from school, about playing outside, and even being in a public place with their father and I, all it takes is a split second for someone to grab them.
You are all in my prayers and God is holding a special place for you all.
