Who are we? Cupid's Sting is a non-profit focused on women’s safety. Its creation was incited after seeing an increase in the brutal nature of domestic violence incidents involving Black women. We teach life-saving skills, such as self-defense.

Our initiatives ensure that women can protect themselves inside and outside the home. Our mission is to educate women and provide practical tools to reduce victimization. We believe all women and girls have the right to be safe in their homes and the communities they live in.
