Tune in today at 1.30pm 🙌🏼
So happy to be invited on the radio again with Helen Farmer to talk about my new online workshop: GO PREPARED.
Designed for teens heading off to University or travelling abroad this summer.
Impulse Self Defence
Empowering teenage girls for life outside the UAE
Dating at university can be exciting, but it also comes with new challenges, unfamiliar situations, and decisions that many teens have never had to navigate before.
That's exactly why I created 'GO PREPARED', an online workshop designed for teens heading abroad to university. We cover the practical safety skills every young person needs, from recognising red flags and setting boundaries to personal safety, situational awareness, consent, and making confident decisions when away from home.
🎓 Perfect for students heading overseas this year.

Everyone should learn this before university. 🎓
Our 'Go Prepared' online Workshop is designed to give teens the knowledge, awareness, and confidence to navigate the real world safely, from coercive control and consent to online safety, deepfakes, boundaries, and trusting intuition.
These conversations matter because danger doesn’t always look obvious. Sometimes it looks charming, funny, popular, or “normal.”
We talk openly, honestly, and without fear tactics, giving teens practical tools they can actually use in real life.
Thank you to the amazing teens who shared their feedback 💛

Three boys rped two girls, filmed it and then shared the footage online.
Judge Rowland said he should "avoid criminalising these children unnecessarily".
WTH?! Where is the accountability? What about the victims?
'Boys will be boys!' 🤬🤮🤬

HASSL speaks my mind 🧠
I’ve been following their journey over the past year and had that real moment of “YES… this is it.” The world needs this!
For years, I’ve taught girls self-defence, as I was never taught about grooming, awareness, predators etc when I was growing up. There were no open conversations around these topics.
So when my teen girl students ask me, "Why do we have to learn to protect ourselves, why can't we just stop being harassed?!"
🔥🔥 GREAT QUESTION!!
Because while teaching girls awareness and self defence matters, it can’t be the only answer.
The root causes are so much bigger and more complicated:
patriarchy, misogyny, lack of accountability, religion, poor education, cultural norms, different laws in different countries… the list goes on.
Sometimes it’s felt difficult to fully articulate that tension in my work. That’s why becoming a HASSL ambassador felt so aligned.
Change can't happen by endlessly telling women & girls to “be careful.”
Real change happens when society starts taking collective responsibility for safety.
And that conversation has already started shifting in my own classes too.
I’m now teaching boys as well; about respect, consent, boundaries, accountability, managing emotions etc.
Because safer spaces are created by culture shifts, education, and communities willing to do better.
Very proud to be part of this!! ❤️

Introducing Go Prepared. 👇
A live online safety session for students aged 16+ and their parents, designed for young people who are preparing to leave Dubai for university or independent travel.
Dubai is one of the safest cities in the world. Which is exactly why this matters. Growing up here means many teenagers leave without ever having had to develop the awareness and instincts they'll need in an unfamiliar environment. Go Prepared changes that.
In 60 minutes, Leah covers:
🔹 Situational awareness and how to read a new environment
🔹 Drink spiking, prevention and response
🔹 Transport safety when travelling alone
🔹 Boundary setting in new social situations
🔹 Consent, what it means and when it is not valid
🔹 Being followed, a step-by-step response
🔹 Image-based abuse and AI
Sunday 14 June, 6pm GST
AED 100 per registration (one parent and one student)
