About The Founder
Founder Alyson Casagrande turns years of personal pain into a mission
From Personal Struggles to Powerful Change
Alyson Casagrande knows firsthand the emotional scars left by bullying. As a young girl, she found herself trapped in a cycle of relational aggression: excluded, mocked, and betrayed by girls she considered friends. Rather than succumbing to the pain, Alyson channeled her suffering into a mission to protect others. Today, she leads End Mean Girl Culture Movement Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to ending bullying and its lasting impacts on girls and women.
Her story begins in Yonkers, New York, where she was born. Raised by her mother after her father passed away from lung cancer, Alyson’s childhood was shaped by loss. Her mother, a strong and compassionate woman, taught her to be sensitive and empathetic toward others.
Alyson attended Sacred Heart Parish for all her sacraments and graduated from The Ursuline School in New Rochelle, NY, in 2000. She later went on to attend Pace University in Pleasantville from 2001-2005.
After college, Alyson worked for prestigious companies like Ameriprise Financial and IBM, where she built a strong corporate background. However, after relocating to Sarasota, Florida, she had to shift her career path as the area, a popular tourist destination, offered fewer corporate opportunities. She adjusted her focus to customer service-driven roles, which ultimately set the stage for her new mission.
Building a Movement for Change
End Mean Girl Culture Movement Inc. was born from Alyson’s desire to empower and protect those who had experienced the same pain she did. It’s also an attempt to end it once and for all! Her movement focuses on creating a cultural shift that empowers leaders to intervene when bullying arises, whether in schools, workplaces, or communities.
Alyson’s work is especially remarkable because she is handling the organization’s creation, development, and marketing by herself. Despite limited resources, she is committed to bringing about change, using her own lived experiences to fuel this vital mission.
One of the standout features of the movement is the Incident Reporting System. This proprietary tool, which Alyson built using her experience at IBM, allows victims to confidentially report instances of bullying and relational aggression. It gives them a voice in a system that often silences them. The system tracks patterns of harmful behavior and helps organizations address recurring issues, ensuring that victims are heard and supported.
The Incident Reporting System is a computer-based tool tailored to each specific organization. Alyson consults with each organization, installing the system and training staff on its use. This allows anyone, anonymously or not, to report an incident they witnessed or heard about, including detailed information about the location and involved parties. The system is available for schools, youth groups, churches, workplaces, or any other organization that wishes to have it.
When an incident is reported, it’s uploaded to the tracker, with notifications sent to the head of the organization and to Alyson herself to ensure proper follow-up. The tracker is restricted to those who sign a non-disclosure agreement to protect the privacy and safety of victims.
Alyson’s technology is a much-needed advancement in the ongoing battle against bullying, which has been an epidemic for decades. This system empowers organizations to create supportive environments and address bullying at its root.

The Crisis of Bullying: A National Epidemic
Bullying is not just a schoolyard issue, it’s a national epidemic that affects girls and women at every stage of life. Studies show that women are more likely to bully other women in the workplace, using tactics such as sabotage, gaslighting, and spreading rumors, all of which have a devastating impact on emotional well-being.
In fact, a 2024 study found that 18% of bullying incidents involve woman-on-woman aggression. Other research suggests that up to 70% of women report being bullied by other women in the workplace. The emotional and professional toll is profound, leading to decreased morale, increased turnover, and mental health setbacks.
End Mean Girl Culture Movement Inc. aims to combat this by raising awareness of the devastating effects of bullying. Alyson is dedicated to changing the narrative, from one of exclusion to one of inclusion and support. Each year, we lose far too many young girls and women to the effects of relentless bullying. The movement honors their lives by standing up, speaking out, and ensuring no one feels like they are fighting this battle alone.
