Amber Scorah's experiences underscore the impact of sharing personal narratives on societal issues. Following the tragic loss of her baby, she advocated for better parental leave policies, which ultimately helped New York City employees achieve improvements. Her memoir about leaving the Jehovah's Witnesses highlighted abusive practices within the group, risking relationships but resonating with others who felt similarly. In response to systemic suppression of information, Scorah co-founded Psstâa nonprofit offering a secure platform for whistleblowers in tech and government to share concerns anonymously and with protections. Its unique features, like the 'digital safe' and 'information escrow,' enhance user privacy and safety.
Amber Scorah's journey reflects how powerful narratives can instigate societal change, even in the face of resistance from organizations trying to suppress those narratives.
In 2019, after leaving the Jehovah's Witnesses, I wrote a memoir exposing the sect's internal issues, risking important relationships but receiving support from others questioning the organization.
Scorah's Psst aims to empower whistleblowers with a unique 'digital safe' for securely sharing concerns while providing extensive privacy options to protect identities.
The 'information escrow' feature of Psst allows users to keep submissions private until there's mutual concern, enhancing safety for whistleblowers.
