Grace Aasen, The Cupcake Girls
Grace (they/she) is the Community Engagement Manager for The Cupcake Girls. They work with the Oregon and SW Washington branch to lead Events, Networking Opportunities, and the Community Partner program. They're also on the organizations Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI) committee. They have been involved with The Cupcake Girls for 6 years and have been on staff for almost 4 years. A favorite part of their role is helping secure donations for the organizations 'Free Store', as well as finding new partners who want to offer specific services to Program Participants for free or discounted costs (ex: mental health and gender-affirming care, legal and financial resources, and more!).
The Cupcake Girls provides confidential and trauma-informed outreach, advocacy, holistic resources, and referral services to people 18+ involved in the sex industry, as well as those affected by domestic sex trafficking. We provide nonjudgmental support to empower our program participants in their pursuits through respect, resources, and relationships.
Throughout the quarter Freeland Spirits is donating a portion of the sales from our Bee's Knees cocktail kit to The Cupcake Girls.
