tims of violence and help connect them with shelters and free self-defense classes in their area. AB: Tell us more about the “blogger suite” on the People Against Violence site. How can we get involved? NA: I designed this automated “Blogger Suite” so that anyone could become an instant blogger. All they have to do is register through my site and once their profile has been verified, they can start posting their blogs. The blogs are shared on my site and on my uAlert app and can also be shared on their own social accounts. This is a way to help people raise topics and conversations that matter to them, share their personal experiences, or leave inspirational thoughts or poems. AB: The uAlert app is a personal security app that you created? NA: Yes, I designed uAlert. It’s an emergency response system that uses your phone’s GPS to locate you and, when you raise an alert, sends help your way. AB: This is a fantastic idea! Where is the app available? NA: This app is available everywhere and the features are available globally. AB: How does it work? NA: It’s a quite sophisticated app. I tried to think of different scenarios and came up with some very practical yet simple features. Every police number of every single country in the world has been inputted. You can track your friends’ whereabouts and be alerted if they’re in trouble. When they hit the “Hi” alert button, not only will you get alerted, but their phone will dial for the police, automatically video-record the first 15 seconds and send it to my center. You can then send additional video if you like. uAlert also includes features like a Missing Child Poster, Safe Place, Crisis Counseling, Check-In, and more. While the main features of the app are free, I do offer also extra security services at an additional cost. Securitas is one of the largest security companies in the world and I have linked their services to my app. You can get extra protection like having a Securitas officer personally escort you to your car or work, check up on your home when you’re away, pick you up from
