✦ About Us

We believe everyone deserves to feel safe and supported.

Our trauma-informed, holistic approach prioritizes dignity, consent, and practical care.

✦ Our philosophy

Safety is holistic by nature.

Our core philosophy is simple: physical, digital, and psychological security are deeply intertwined. A digital leak can cause severe emotional strain and physical exposure. A physical threat might push a team member into taking risky digital shortcuts. And without a baseline of psychological safety, a team cannot effectively manage risk at all.

By looking at the whole person and the whole organization, we help our partners build strong, caring spaces where respect and consent are always the priority.

✦ Our approach

A Calming, Community-Centered Approach

We work alongside individuals, local community groups, news organizations, and global nonprofits, meeting you exactly where you are. We know that working in tough or sensitive situations is hard enough. That is why our approach is deliberately calm, practical, and never alarmist. Our services are designed to settle and strengthen you, not create more worry.

Safety truly hinges on trust and community. Whether you need to secure your communications, plan for complex physical operations, or weave mental health support into your everyday culture, we partner with you to build lasting habits. We turn complex security concepts into clear, straightforward language so that everyone—regardless of their technical background—walks away with solid strategies and the confidence to protect themselves and their teammates.

Ultimately, we are committed to more than just getting you ready for a crisis. We want to empower you to thrive, knowing your complete wellbeing is supported across every part of your work and life.

A Background in Advocacy and Media

Before dedicating her focus entirely to safety and security, Jeje worked as a multimedia journalist in Egypt and the United States. She produced documentaries, podcasts, and articles uncovering human rights abuses and pressing social issues. During this time, she established Witness Magazine, a publication dedicated to covering human rights violations in Egypt and the Middle East.

Her extensive advocacy work includes managing programs to combat sex trafficking, addressing racial inequities, and supporting survivors of human rights violations across the U.S., the MENA region, and exiled populations.


Leadership in Safety & Security

Jeje is the co-founder and managing partner of Aegis Safety Alliance, a consortium of women and non-binary media safety experts. Previously, she served as the Senior Manager, as well as a Consultant and Trainer, for Digital Safety and Free Expression at PEN America.

In those roles, she led critical training initiatives and developed essential resources—including PEN America’s Online Harassment Field Manual—equipping journalists, academics, and writers with the tools needed to protect themselves against online abuse. She currently serves on the advisory board for the Coalition Against Online Violence and frequently writes on digital safety issues, with work published in outlets such as Ms. Magazine.
