Dare to Rise is not just another nonprofit—we are a movement built on love, legacy, and leadership. We are women of lived experience, committed to uplifting families, supporting individuals, and shifting systems. From legal navigation to emotional healing and artistic expression, we’re here to remind every person: You are not alone. Together, we rise.
Who We Are:
We didn’t wait for permission to lead. We created Dare to Rise because we knew the system wasn’t built for all of us. We are proof that healing, justice, and change start in community.
We are three women—mothers, daughters, leaders—who came together with one mission: to build a support system rooted in compassion, advocacy, and cultural truth. Dare to Rise was born out of lived experience, systemic gaps, and a deep desire to uplift the communities we call home.
