Digital Safety for Communities
We prioritize community workshops for historically vulnerable or underserved groups, and spaces focused on equity and social justice. These sessions are designed to increase digital safety, reduce exposure risks, and empower participants with practical tools to protect themselves online.
While our focus is on supporting these communities, the principles and practices we teach - privacy, security, and digital hygiene, are broadly applicable, making them valuable for small businesses, freelancers, and organizations seeking ethical, practical guidance.
By centering workshops on consent, safety, and empowerment, we ensure that sessions are relevant, actionable, and respectful, and that participants can engage confidently in spaces where they are most at risk.
