Not only was the presentation inspiring, it was entertaining and perfectly suited for a college audience. A great sense of confidence and power came over the room when girls started learning the self-defense moves. After the program so many girls wanted nothing more but to enroll in a self-defense course because it was such a rewarding experience. -Lorin @ Georgia Institute of Technology

Heather was a fantastic speaker.  Her practical suggestions were presented in a witty, yet realistic way. We would love to have her back! -Debbie @ Vanguard

We had fun, and really walked away learning how to protect ourselves better. It definitely sparked some discussion and thoughts about what we would do if we found ourselves in violent situation. -Jessi @ University of Northern Iowa

Megan grasped the true inner-thoughts of most women in tough situations. Then explained we aren't crazy to follow our intuition and clearly demonstrated our options in "scary bad guy" situations. -Jerika @ South Dakota State

This was a wonderful and fun experience in self defense.  Everyone left the event feeling very empowered and up beat.  many presentations leave you worried about your safety, this one just made you aware. -Krissie @ Oakton Community College

Having Girls Fight Back in front of the sorority chapters at Michigan State University was both entertaining and beneficial. Often we bring in speakers who do not relate to their target audience, making it difficult for the women to relate to. She presented the material bringing humor and real world application that appeased to the young women in our community. We would definitely recommend GFB to any other organization -Jaclyn @ Michigan State University

This program was a great interactive way to teach students simple defense tips for what to do in an unexpected situation. The information presented by Jaime was mostly stuff students would never think of. Great program! -Kristin @ University of Nebraska

Michaela was "on the ball" in advance of the event, and was easy to work with.  Everyone who left the presentation felt like they had a practical "nugget" that they could use in future situations to keep themselves safe. -Kelley @ St. Charles Community College

The Girls Fight Back program was a very inspiring and empowering experience. Erin presented in such a comedic way that had me laughing the whole time. GFB makes self-defense fun and personal!  -Tiffany @ Southern Illinois University

We host a GFB presentation every other year for our Junior and Senior girls. It is truly a highlight on our school calendar! This year, we timed the event to happen right before the homestretch of Spring Break, Prom, and Graduation. I'm confident that the speaker's message gave our students confidence to handle difficult and even threatening situations. Moreover, our Senior girls will now have knowledge and skills to take with them when they leave here. -Paul @ Center Grove High School

Students were talking about and practicing what they had learned from Jaime as they walked out of the seminar and all the way back to their homes. I was very impressed by that! -Jordan @ North Dakota State

 Girls Fight Back is the best presentation that I have seen at GPC since I've been here.  The students loved the information given by Heather, and I was impressed with how many males attended.  They learned not only moves and techniques to use in case they were attacked, but also that they have the strength within themselves to fend for their lives and not to rely on someone else.  How empowering! -Karen @ Georgia Perimeter College

Erin Weed is an amazing speaker!  The GFB program as a whole is top-notch and so easy to work with!  Erin did a phenomenal job holding the audience’s attention throughout the 90 minutes.  Erin is a natural teacher when it comes to personal safety and she understands the balance of oral, kinetic, and visual learning. -Becky @ Lake Zurich High School

GFB never ceases to amaze me w/how it connects to the student population, especially those who are first-year students! Every time I see the presentation, she's added something new and it reinvents the experience! She presents a serious concern on college campuses in a way that students feel educated and supported, not attacked or revictimized! -Staci @ San Jose State

Michaela did a required evening presentation to a tough crowd of high school girls yet she had them laughing during the talk and then on their feet using their voices and bodies. It was amazing the way she was able to maintain their attention and sustain the energy in the auditorium. -Andi @ The Taft School

Heather is easily one of the best speakers I have ever seen. She keeps the audience engaged and makes sure the show never gets boring. -Brett @ University of Akron

Erin's presentation was very moving and inspired the room to want to do more with their lives. She showed us how to learn to stand up for ourselves and fight back while being beautiful women. Her enthusiasm and honor had the audience on their edge of their chair joining in her energy. -Bethany @ Lynchburg College

Thank you so much for your wonderful, empowering performance with Ithaca College last evening.  The ICF and SAFER executive boards truly enjoyed your presentation, and with a turnout that was pretty large for such a small campus (we count ourselves lucky if 20 people show up!) We were all effective in giving young women and men on campus yet another tool for their toolbox in the fight against violence against women.  The speaker was wonderfully attentive to our campus state of affairs and past problems with sexual assault, and I personally can't tell you how much it meant to me to have her state our belief that prevention comes before action again and again throughout the presentation.  It was so satisfying to hear such continuity between our speakers' message and our own actions.   We received GREAT feedback from students and staff about the program.  Thanks again for all your help!  -Sarah @ Ithaca College

I know our sorority women weren't really looking forward to this presentation because they thought it would be another boring speaker. They get tired of speakers who are dry or preachy. But they LOVED Girls Fight Back! They all went back to their rooms and practiced their 3 steps of self-defense. More than anything else, she got them THINKING about how they can take better care of themselves, on Spring Break and any other time. -Dana @ Presbyterian College

Erin, I just wanted to say that you are an amazing person. I remember you coming to East Stroudsburg and what a fantastic presentation! I admire you for your strength and dedication to the women of this country. Thank you for all of your work towards making this a better world. You truly are an angel on earth!  -Gretchen @ East Stroudsburg University

I would like to thank you so much for coming to The University of Toledo! The program you put on was amazing. Not only did you begin to teach us how to fight, but also that everyone is beautiful, and we should all love ourselves, respect ourselves and stick up for ourselves! Thanks again Girls Fight Back! -Adrienne @ University of Toledo

The entire program was wonderful! The presentation was fun, interesting, informative, and beneficial! Her presentation was fantastic and the audience loved it. I feel that the program is absolutely perfect, with very little need for improvement. I think it is a great message for women, empowerment, and women need to know how to defend themselves. The presentation facilitated all of these needs, at times it was a very sad and sobering presentation and at other times extremely fun and humorous. I feel that this presentation is absolutely perfect. It is perfectly timed, well planned out and executed. She really connects with her audience through personal stories, friendly banter, and humorous asides. Girls Fight Back blew our minds! Life changing event.  -Jesse @ Virginia Tech

Thanks for coming on my program to talk about campus safety.  Keep up the great work.  You are truly an inspiration!
-Kimberly Guilfoyle, Host, The Lineup on Fox News Channel

First off, the program that you put on for the BACCHUS General Assembly was incredible. Even though we are the "infallible" people who are out in our school communities trying to educate others about making smart decisions and being prepared etc., I could tell by the looks on many faces that you touched a little something personal in all of us and we were all able to connect with your message. Whether it be through an interesting spring break experience, a bad decision on any level, or perhaps being victimized at some point in their lives.  Girls Fight Back - keep doing what you're doing. Don't ever stop! -Sarah @ Rhodes College

Erin was enthusiastic throughout the program. The way that the story and other situations were shared made it so that everyone could relate. All of the people in attendance loved Erin's humor. Erin made a connection with the audience and many of the women really got into the program!  She is absolutely AMAZING!  -Caitlyn @ Bowling Green State University

Hey Erin, I wanted to drop you a quick e-mail to thank you for coming to our campus. You did an amazing job, and the people I know that were there thoroughly enjoyed your program. People are still talking about it, and many have read your book and said it was AWESOME! Again, thank you so much. You are an amazing woman for spreading this awareness and accomplishing so much in your life thus far. You are truly an inspiration to the women of Alpha Phi and JMU.  -Jessica @ James Madison University

I am a survivor of both acquaintance rape, and acute domestic (physical and emotional) violence. As a woman and a survivor, I just wanted to take the time to commend Erin on the power, strength and compassion that she puts forth helping young women develop the skills and self confidence necessary to prevent such acts of unnecessary violence from occurring again. To Erin, there should be a million more of you.  -Anonymous survivor, NJ

The feedback I received from students was very positive and they appreciated her sense of humor! Girls Fight Back provided practical advice regarding safety precautions women can take to prevent an assault and I was pleased that she discussed the fact that alcohol or other drug use increases a woman's chance of victimization! I would definitely recommend this program to other campuses. -Toni G.@ Nazareth College

I don't know where to begin to say thank you. You are so amazing! You are such a great example to young women on how you can make anything happen in life. Our women could not say enough great things about you. I know that you get it all the time, but I have never seen them so engaged and in awe of what someone was teaching and sharing with them. You were fantastic!  -Mari Ann Callais, Theta Phi Alpha national president

I can’t thank Erin enough for the truly excellent lunch seminar. I have received wonderful feedback from so many of the employees. Her presentation certainly made quite an impression on all of us! -Maureen McCafrey, Estee Lauder

I would like to thank you so much for coming to The University of Toledo! The program you put on was amazing. Not only did you begin to teach us how to fight, but also that everyone is beautiful, and we should all love ourselves, respect ourselves and stick up for ourselves! Thanks again Girls Fight Back!   -Adrienne @ University of Toledo

Erin has such a unique and refreshing approach to the topic of women’s self-defense and I think she is doing a wonderful job spreading her very important message. An employee gave me feedback saying that today’s seminar was one of the best programs that Merrill Lynch has ever offered their women employees.  -Allison @ Merrill Lynch

I just wanted to thank you so much for the wonderful program of "Girls Fight Back" that you presented at our campus last week. I have received a significant amount of positive feedback from your program, and I could not have been more satisfied with the way it turned out. You were very down-to-earth, friendly, and connected very well with the students here. I was extremely impressed with everything. Thank you once again, and I hope you enjoyed your visit to the University of Florida!  -Marni @ University of Florida

I have now heard you speak 3 times, but each time I feel like I have learned something. Thanks so much for everything!  -Emilie @ Indiana State University

I just got home from seeing Erin speak and I just wanted to thank her for her passion. She made me feel empowered and unafraid. Her style of speaking is awesome. To be able to come away from such a tragedy and speak with humor and enlightenment is something remarkable. Thank you so much for sharing your talents and knowledge with college age women around the country. -Michelle @ University of Iowa
