Founder ' Amanda Jay'

Thank you for taking your time to explore my shop. I am honored to be a voice for women worldwide who feel as though they have not been heard. My hopes are to encourage and protect women all around me from the same experiences I've shared myself. At a young age I found myself having to defend myself against a man in my own home as a teen and a few short years later I found myself constantly battling the stares of men who could follow me home or over power me into submission. The more I feel as though I have to watch my surroundings when I should feel free to roam unharmed, the more I realize just how prominent this issue is. The fact of the matter is, everytime I get in my car I check my back seat, I walk with my keys between my fingers, I circle my apartment a few times to ensure I am not being followed and I refuse to pump gas at night. Entirely too many women share this same fear of having to watch what we do to avoid being placed as a victim. After a recent encounter I finally said enough is enough. I watched the news as Gabby Petito went missing after a trip with her boyfriend and she never returned. I sat horrified at the story of Miya Marcano who was found dead after her own maintenance man entered her home with his master key. There has to be a change made when women don't even feel safe in the comfort of their homes. So I founded BraveChains as a voice for women who feel like I do. My mission is to spread awareness at all costs. I will do this at whatever length it takes for women to be equipped for their own safety. I want them to find their "brave".
