Traffic Stop App Aims to Save Lives
Inspired by personal experience, Mbye Njie launched an app designed to hold police accountable. A new feature allows victims of domestic violence to alert contacts for help.
Mbye Njie spent his first career selling other people’s products.
He sold discount coupon books and rental car services in the early days, then later convinced major companies to switch their computers to Apple MACS. Njie’s second career is selling himself, and his vision to make life safer and more equitable for people of color.
Njie ’04 is CEO of Legal Equalizer Inc., a phone app that records and livestreams interactions with police and immigration authorities. It sprang from his anger and frustration over police killings of Black people, and his own frequent traffic stop experiences.
