Our Founder's Story
As a young girl growing up in Jamaica Queens, NY, I idolized my older brother. I'd spend all of my free time hanging out with him, and his friends. As the only girl of the group, I slowly became a "tomboy." In order to fit in, and not appear too soft or girlie, I began using combative tones and verbal intimidations, to get what I wanted. As I got older, this behavior became normal, and it slowly seeped into other areas of my life.
Never in a million years, did I ever consider myself to be a bully. I mean, it's not like I was picking schoolyard fights, or taking anyone's lunch money. After all, when i was growing up, studies showed that boys were 2.5 times more likely to be bullies, than girls. Once having children, I quickly realized that my aggressive behavior as a young girl were the same manipulating tactics that bullies used against their victims. After this realization, I vowed to teach my children, and children across the country, about ways to combat bullying in every situation.
In my mission to empower children with fun and interactive programs to fight bullying, i've authored, the NIEA award-nominated children'a book, Don't Snooze On Clues! (2014), which provides parents and children with key answers to questions regarding handling various dangerous encounters, and bullying situations.
With a previous career in community outreach, I was inspired to speak directly to school-age children, who are most impacted by bullying on a daily basis. In 2015, I created Don't Snooze On Clues™ (D.S.O.C), an organization that provide bullying and internet safety programs to elementary and middle school students.With the support of New York State Senator Leroy Comrie, the New York City Police Department, and local community boards, we have shared our D.S.O.C anti-bullying presentation to over 1000 students, and we are just getting started.
Join us this year, as we pledge to share our "Stand Up To Bullying" message with 1500 more students across the NYC tri-state area.
Sincerely,
Keba Cairo
