Shaped by experience.
Carried by expertise.
We believe AI can help — when it's developed with conviction, empathy, and a sense of responsibility. YOUNA is our way of rethinking mental health and community support.

An experience of racism is never just a moment. It leaves marks — and we know this from our own experience.
We're developing YOUNA to make racism visible and to empower those affected, by making digital self-help available quickly and anonymously.

Since 2021, we've been developing YOUNA as a social tech project that empowers people affected by racism.
Our team combines personal, lived experience with expertise in tech, law, communications, mental health, and community care. Our goal is to use technology to foster self-efficacy, provide orientation, and create safety — especially where offline structures reach their limits.
How we make change possible.
AI that empowers
We develop discrimination-aware AI that empowers people — rather than replacing them.
Bridges instead of barriers
We team up with counseling services to build digital bridges.
Knowledge changes structures
We promote awareness and understanding of racism through education and technology.
Support YOUNA
YOUNA stays independent — thanks to fundings and donations. Support a social tech business that makes digital self-help possible for people affected by racism.
