In a world that often prioritizes force over understanding, a pioneering company is challenging the status quo and redefining what it means to ensure safety. In 2017, Kimmy Hull embarked on a mission that would challenge the norms of safety provision. Out of a deep-seated concern for community well-being and a fervent commitment to inclusivity, Hull founded Sequeerity, a company with a difference. Rejecting the conventional model of enforcement in favor of a more empathetic approach, Sequeerity set out to revolutionize the safety landscape, one event at a time.

“We’re not just here to enforce rules; we’re here to create connections,” affirms Kimmy Hull, founder of Sequeerity. Their ethos revolves around proactive engagement and genuine human connection, transcending the traditional confines of safety measures. “Our purpose is to ensure everyone enjoys the event safely and happily,” Hull emphasizes, highlighting the company’s profound dedication to inclusivity and well-being.

At the core of Sequeerity’s philosophy lies a fundamental belief in the power of communication and mutual understanding. Rather than relying on intimidation or brute force, their approach hinges on de-escalation tactics and conflict resolution strategies rooted in empathy. By actively listening to all parties involved and fostering an environment of open dialogue, Sequeerity’s team of trained professionals has consistently defused potentially volatile situations with remarkable finesse.

Through their unique approach, Sequeerity has demonstrated time and again that compassion is the most potent tool in conflict resolution. “Every single time we’ve had to deal with protestors, not one person has had to face escalation,” Hull proudly declares. It’s a testament to the transformative power of empathy, proving that understanding and dialogue can triumph over hostility and aggression.

Sequeerity’s impact extends far beyond the realm of event security. With a steadfast commitment to education and empowerment, the company offers a comprehensive suite of training programs tailored to the needs of diverse communities. “Education is the cornerstone of empowerment,” Hull asserts, underscoring Sequeerity’s commitment to equipping communities with the tools to navigate conflict constructively. From Situational Awareness and De-Escalation trainings to firearms instruction, their programs foster resilience and self-confidence, empowering individuals to assert their safety with dignity and poise. Sequeerity’s unwavering dedication to inclusivity is woven into the fabric of their operations. They actively collaborate with local organizations and businesses, forging alliances that transcend traditional boundaries. “We’re not just service providers; we’re community builders,” Hull explains. By partnering with advocacy groups, cultural initiatives, and marginalized communities, they’re catalysts for positive change, fostering environments where diversity thrives and everyone feels valued and respected.

However, Sequeerity’s journey has not been without its challenges. Navigating a regulatory landscape that often favors conventional enforcement methods has required unwavering determination and a steadfast belief in their mission. “We’re in a holding pattern, but our mission remains unwavering,” Hull declares, undeterred by the obstacles that lie ahead. With a resolute spirit, she advocates for a paradigm shift that recognizes the indispensable role of pro-deescalation tactics in modern safety frameworks, paving the way for a safer, more inclusive world.

At the heart of Sequeerity’s approach lies a profound acknowledgment of the inherent dignity and worth of every human being. By embracing diversity and fostering understanding, they’re not just redefining safety; they’re reshaping society’s very fabric, weaving a tapestry of empathy, acceptance, and unity. In their hands, safety isn’t just a privilege; it’s a fundamental human right—a beacon of hope that shines bright in even the darkest of times.
