On this episode we talk with Mbye Njie, Davidson class of ‘04. Mbye was an Anthropology Major at Davidson. Since he graduated in 2004, he’s been an activist and founder of Legal Equalizer, a mobile app that allows users to capture police encounters after being pulled over, automatically notify loved ones in real-time, provide information on legal rights involving that encounter, and receive legal advice at the scene. Mbye launched the first version of the app in 2015 after seeing the fallout from the Michael Brown case, and pulling from his own personal experiences with law enforcement.
Hub & Spoke, presented by the Hurt Hub@Davidson, aims to build a strong community of entrepreneurs and innovators by sharing the stories of Davidson alumni, students, faculty, parents, friends, and our greater community.
In these one-hour episodes, we will introduce and interview our storytellers and then invite the audience to ask questions and learn more. Every two weeks, we will feature Davidson entrepreneurs and innovators who have used their liberal arts education as a foundation for their success in creating their own businesses, leading teams, and driving innovation to solve the world's most pressing challenges.
