Executive Director
Shael Norris is the Founding Executive Director of SafeBAE, the only US national survivor-founded, youth-led organization working to prevent sexual violence among teens. She has dedicated her career to ending sexual violence and empowering youth activism. As a young activist, she was a founding staffer of V-Day, overseeing all benefit productions of "The Vagina Monologues"(1999-2016) and the creation of the "Campus Accountability Project" calling for improved prevention/response on college campuses. It was this higher education prevention work, that led her to co-creating SafeBAE (2015), in partnership with Daisy and Charlie Coleman, Ella Fairon, and Jada Smith. Her work will be published in the 2024 Journal of Child Sexual Abuse.
