"There’s no one I’d rather have in my corner than Jerin Arifa. She has truly catapulted my business, Feminist Self-Defense, to the next level. She ... has the ability to see my unique potential, and possesses the concrete tools and strategies to make my highest purpose a reality.
I know that I’m good at what I do, but without Jerin's help, no one would benefit from it. She was literally the missing link in connecting me with my potential. Jerin has opened the door of opportunity, far beyond what I could have envisioned for myself. With her by my side, I know I can accomplish anything."

Jerin is determined to leave the world a better place than she found it. A consummate advocate for gender equality, she has truly dedicated her life to promoting intersectional feminism and combating all forms of discrimination. I am so grateful that she encouraged me to join the community of young feminists in the first virtual chapter of NOW, since she has been an invaluable resource of guidance and inspiration for myself and the rest of the chapter. Jerin is kind and relatable, but still a force to be reckoned with; she is changing society for the better, one training at a time.
