Jono McKay, founder of SameSame, delivers a presentation spotlighting the transformative power of mobile technology in supporting LGBTQI+ youth, particularly in places where it's difficult or even illegal to be different. Combining anecdotes and data-driven insights, he will share how his personal and professional experiences led to the founding of SameSame and the development of a WhatsApp chatbot that has provided over 100,000 young people in South Africa and Zimbabwe with access to mental health support. Jono hopes to illuminate the ways digital solutions can bridge divides and provide safe, anonymous and inclusive resources to those in need.
