Today’s young adults are immersed in an internet culture that brings with it host of new social and legal challenges. When an ex-lover posted compromising photos of Nyika Allen online, she felt traumatized, ashamed, and defenseless. This difficult experience transformed her into an advocate for all victims of revenge porn, working with policy makers to ensure that all future targets of this abusive practice have the support they need and the power to fight back.
Nyika Allen is the Executive Director of the New Mexico Technology Council. She is passionate about technology, startups, women's issues and the economic health of New Mexico. Along with her position at the NMTC, Allen is also the Tech Expert on 2KASA Fox, Director of Business Development at Volante Software and President of Nyika Media (www.nyika.tv).
