Kayla Moilanen
Activist, Founder & CEO
Kayla Moilanen, a San Antonio native, is driven to tear down walls that divide our community, address systemic inequities, and create connections where all can feel safe and welcome.
Kayla is the founder and CEO of For Her, a local non-profit which fosters dignity and grows equity for women at risk, especially those who have been sexually exploited. For Her was born from Kayla’s own experiences with sexual assault, which inspired her to be a catalyst for change by educating and motivating others towards more holistic approaches that bring healing instead of perpetuating fear and shame-- especially societal attitudes towards the commercialization of sex and women.
For the last nine years, her efforts have been targeted towards mobilizing outreach and providing free advocacy and services for survivors of sexual exploitation. Today, Kayla has become a sought-after voice and advocate for marginalized women.
