Thank you to everyone who has reached out to us regarding the devastating fires that Los Angeles is currently experiencing. Thousands of families have been displaced and many of them lost everything. Some of these are our dear friends and students. We are grateful that Gracie University is in what is still considered a safe zone, so we will resume classes, with air conditioning and air purifiers pumping, while also prioritizing the families in need. We are accumulating donations at @GracieUniversityHQ for the following essential items: * First aid kits * Bottled water or other packaged drinks * Garbage bags * Batteries, flashlights or device chargers * Hygiene products from soap, disinfectants, hand sanitizer or laundry detergents * Infant care items such as formula, diapers, and rash cream * Blankets or pillows * Underwear or socks * Packaged or nonperishable food items and snacks * Children entertainment from toys to books If you’d like to help, bring your items to Gracie University, and we will get them to distribution centers or directly to the affected families. For the women who registered for our free seminar this Sunday, we are postponing it two weeks (to Sunday, January 26 at 3pm). You will be receiving more information to your email. Sending love and strength to our Los Angeles community, and so much gratitude for our first responders who are so courageously fighting what appears to be an impossible fight. 💔

2024 was a year of loss and uncertainty change and growth innovation and abundance and a milestone celebration. As we wrap up this year, I am most grateful for the health of my children and my parents. My intentions for 2025 are to enjoy more family time and create more ME time. I hope everyone has a chance today to reflect on how far they have come, and what choices we have to make life a little sweeter. Happy New Year ❤️

Today marks 50 years of marriage for my parents. They have taught us that there are many ways to love. That you can love with kindness, care, forgiveness, vulnerability, understanding, truth, and friendship, and you can do it through uncertainty and hard moments. How partnerships take work, and yet they are so worth it. I love you both, and am so grateful to be able to learn from and with you. ❤️
THANK YOU to all those who brought donations to @gracieuniversityhq! The ones brought this week have been sorted and distributed. Based on the needs of the organizations supporting the fire victims, and the overwhelming support through donations, we will not be accepting used items or clothing this week, as we will not be able to re-distribute them. We will still take new items if you have some to donate. Right now the best way to help is with financial contributions (either directly to the families’ GoFundMe pages, or to orgs like Cal Fire Foundation or LAFD Wildfire Emergency Fund. I will place links in my stories/highlights to a few! I always think about what an impact we can make when a LOT of people donate even just a little bit. The situation is rapidly changing, as is the best way to help/support these families. Feel free to tag me in any family’s GoFundMe to repost and get the word out. Or comment on any other great ways to currently help. Grateful for this city FULL of beautiful and kind people. ❤️🌴
Grateful to have so many women bravely show up on the mat with us, support one another other, and try something new. Thanks to our @womenempoweredgjj students and assistants and the excellent @gracieuniversityhq team who helps make the experience smooth and welcoming. Excited for all the jiu-jitsu journeys ahead!!
