Safety is not just a product. It is power.
That was the message when Safely co-founders Ashley Raymond (CEO) and Meagan Doyle (CMO) appeared on Caroline & Rashi on FOX 26 Houston, alongside Pinky, to talk about women empowerment, self-defense, and how Safely helps Houston women feel more secure.
What We Shared on Air
Founders’ Story and Mission
Ashley and Meagan explained how Safely began with a simple belief that women deserve to feel confident walking alone, jogging in parks, and going out at night without fear. Empowerment is achievable, and it requires the right tools and education.
Why Pepper Spray Matters
Recent reports of a man targeting women in Houston parks made this conversation urgent. The goal is not to create fear. It is to provide women with reliable options for protection and the confidence to use them.
The Live Demo
One highlight of the segment was the pepper spray demonstration with Caroline and Rashi. Meagan and Ashley, with help from Pinky, used Safely practice spray to show how to hold, aim, and deploy pepper spray safely and effectively. The demo proved that self-defense is practical and easy to learn.
Education First
Safely goes beyond selling products. We teach how to choose the right tool, understand safety considerations, practice regularly, and know what to do afterward.
Why This Moment Matters
Houston has seen a troubling pattern of attacks on women in public spaces. Safely’s appearance on Caroline & Rashi encourages women to prepare and take ownership of their safety. Knowledge and preparation build confidence and power.
Quick Safety Tips
- Stay aware of your surroundings and avoid distractions.
- Practice with any self-defense tool so you know how it works.
- Aim for the eyes and create distance if you need to use pepper spray.
- After using pepper spray, move to a safe location and get help.
- Share what you learn with friends and family so more women feel prepared.
What Comes Next
This segment is one step in our ongoing mission to bring practical safety education to more women. Safely will continue to create tools and resources that help every woman feel secure and confident.
