Summary

Yasmine Mustafa recognizes that chance played a significant role in saving her life, but she refuses to let it dictate the course of her future. She and her team at ROAR have developed Athena, a wearable device that uses communication technology to alert emergency contacts in case of an assault. Athena's success can be attributed to its thoughtful design, core social mission, and need for a solution to address violence against women. The company donates a portion of their proceeds to educational programs that increase empathy and reduce violence, aiming to create a world where such products are no longer necessary.
