Hello, I’m Ashley Jenkins , the founder of SAYF. The idea for this personalized safe guide stemmed from my own experiences and a deep-seated desire to ensure inclusivity for everyone, everywhere. Navigating through various cities, I consistently faced the challenge of finding spaces where I felt secure and welcomed, regardless of the setting—be it for work, leisure, or social engagements.

Driven by this personal quest and realizing that my experiences were shared by many others, I envisioned SAYF. This platform is not just a tool—it’s a community empowerment engine designed by and for people who value their safety and the safety of others. It’s about transforming personal safety into a collaborative, community-focused initiative where everyone has a say in shaping their environments.

SAYF allows us to share and discover safe spots, verified and enriched by personal experiences from our peers. This guide is more than just a directory; it’s a movement towards creating a secure, inclusive world where we can all thrive. Together, we are building a future where everyone can step out with confidence, knowing they have the tools to find safe havens, no matter where they are.

Thank you for joining me on this journey to make safety accessible for all.
