Women's safety in the gym is a conversation I've had many times throughout and before my college career. The one that sparked this project, however, happened during a women's lifting club meeting. Hearing the stories other women had about their experiences in the gym raised a very important question for me: how often do things like this happen? Later that year, I would take my Design Research class, and Empower Her was born. Although it started as an Instagram prototype, it was revamped into a web infographic. The goal of Empower Her was to create a format that could be reached by anyone, anywhere, so women and femme presenting people would know that they are not alone, and masc presenting people could hear real stories from real people.
