OUR FOUNDER

Juliet Lighter-Kamm, former Miss Hawaii USA is a advocate, coach, philanthropist, marketing expert, and art enthusiast. She completed her undergraduate work in Public Relations and her Master's degree in Communications from Hawaii Pacific University.

As a survivor of dating violence she launched Women Speaking Out (WSO), as a teen and young women’s dating abuse preventative resource in 2007. The organization is focused on helping to support a niche market in the prevention field through education and encouraging young women to have an active voice in the community.

The organization’s overall vision is simple, to change lives; to shine a light for those in the dark and to bring attention to this important issue through fashion, music, art, education and philanthropy. Women Speaking Out seeds the message of empowerment, self love, and cultivating positive relationship behaviors and recognizing unhealthy patterns of abuse.

OUR PARTNERS

WSO partners with companies and brands which share our vision. We are honored to collaborate with Hawaii’s top talent and are always looking for new and exciting ways to synergistically grow. Interested? #speaklove #wsohawaii
