The Will To Survive

Advocating for 2nd Amendment Rights

Women, who are some of the most vulnerable to crime, must have a means and training to protect themselves.

Mira survived a near death experience when she awoke one night to a random home invasion and found herself the target of a serial convicted felon. Despite a 38 special revolver to her chest, she found the will to survive and fought her attacker, turning his own gun against him. She won the battle that day and went on to become a police officer for many years and continues to dedicate herself to women's rights and helping others.

In addition to being the ERGO CEO, she speaks all over the country about her story, advocates for 2nd Amendment Rights, and in her spare time teaches Personal Safety Courses.
