About bobu
You know what gets us? "Safe spaces" that aren't. They've got the posters. The policies. The rainbow stickers. The diversity statements. And when it matters? Nothing. Why? Because those places think a policy is protection. Managers think HR handles it. HR thinks the handbook covers it. Everyone thinks safety is someone else's job. It's not. Safety is something you practise. Every day. In real time. You can't rely on the rules to protect you. When the moment comes, the signs won't stop it. We're Luciana and Nick. We built bobu because we were done pretending a poster on the wall would protect us. "Just report it to HR" doesn't work when you're standing there, heart racing, needing to act right now. We know what it's like when someone crosses a line and your body just takes over - freeze, flight, fawn, or fight - before you can think. We're done waiting for systems that don't work. bobu gives you what actually works: Catch the drop before autopilot kicks in. Feel It, Read It, Own It. ACT, SPEAK, or LEAVE—your move, your choice. Practice on small moments so you're ready when it matters. You learn it. You practise it. You're ready. Life is the practice.
