About

firstME was founded in response to deeply rooted societal norms that often pressure women and girls to deprioritize their own needs within relationships. The organization was born out of a commitment to challenge these expectations and to affirm that every individual—especially women and girls—deserves relationships grounded in mutual care, respect, and emotional safety.

At its core, firstME operates on the belief that healthy relationships are not a privilege, but a fundamental right. Through a focus on self-awareness, boundary-setting, and assertive communication, firstME equips individuals and groups with the tools they need to navigate relationships with confidence and integrity.
