Who we are

Stay Safe EDU is an organization created by a mother/daughter team to teach crime prevention techniques and skills to people of all ages.

Karla, a dedicated mother and expert in educational leadership and lifespan development, has crafted an innovative, age-appropriate curriculum designed to empower participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to protect themselves. Drawing on her extensive academic background, she skillfully integrates principles of human growth and development into her teachings, ensuring that learners of all ages can grasp their unique abilities and strengths. Known for her insightful books and engaging speaking engagements, Karla has become a best-selling author and a sought-after national speaker, inspiring countless individuals to embrace their potential and prioritize safety in their everyday lives.

Jenae, the daughter, holds multiple black belts and is a two-time World Games Gold Medalist in pankration, the formal term for mixed martial arts (MMA). Utilizing her impressive MMA skills and her passion for motivational speaking, she offers hands-on presentations focused on vital safety skills, empowering participants to "stay safe." As a bestselling author, Jenae has inspired audiences across the globe, sharing the stage with prominent figures such as Dr. Oz and Dr. Drew. Her dynamic approach combines practical self-defense techniques with motivating insights, making her sessions both engaging and impactful. 

If you follow the news, the world can be a scary place. So can your community, parking lots, malls, movie theaters, sidewalks and parks (to name a few places). These scary places can make you feel vulnerable and subject to a crime of opportunity. Women over the age of 55 are at a statistically higher risk of becoming victimized. Children of all ages are vulnerable to predators. Did you know that most personal assaults are committed by someone you know?
