Calling all Chicagoland Change-Makers 🏙️🥋👸🏽

Hi everyone! My name is Valerie, and I am the owner and lead instructor of Tequihua Self Defense —a self-defense program for women, created by a woman.

I’ve had the honor of working with over 1,000 women across Chicago and the suburbs, collaborating with 30+ amazing non-profits, schools, hospitals, and local businesses to build stronger, safer communities.

As I look ahead to 2026, my goal is to expand this impact even further! I am currently looking to collaborate with:

✨ Non-profits looking for empowerment workshops

✨ Women-owned businesses interested in team-building or community events

✨ Schools & Universities prioritizing student safety

✨ Hospitals & Healthcare providers

✨ Gyms & Community Centers wanting to offer specialized safe spaces

If you or anyone you know is passionate about providing life-saving skills and creating safe spaces for women in our city, I would love to connect! Let’s work together to make 2026 our most empowered year yet. 🛡️💖

Feel free to drop a comment or send me a DM to start a conversation!
