About Us
What is Talk to Shaz?
Talk to Shaz is the world's first pseudo-anonymous chat app made for women, which tackles loneliness and the declining of poor mental health struggles before they reach the point of diagnosis. Sadly for most of us we don't have a safe space where we can fully express how we’re feeling to someone in our life without the guilt of burdening them. Talk to Shaz is an app, where users can remain fully anonymous. It's a place where we can create long-term connections with strangers who are potentially experiencing what we are without the pressure of judgement or keeping up appearances. Talk to Shaz consists of users from around the world, who have come together to be heard, be there and be present for one another. We are a growing community of users from all walks of life and backgrounds. Talk to Shaz is named after our founder's mother, Shahnaz Roshan, who always created a safe space for her.
How does Talk to Shaz work?
Once a user has created their Talk to Shaz account, they are encouraged to use an psuedo-anonymised photo/nickname and begin to message other users. At Talk to Shaz, we don't want our users to feel pressured in responding straight away so please be patient with replies. The app encourages users to be there for one another over a longer period of time and develop a consistent safe space. Even though Talk to Shaz is a psuedo-anonymous app, it can still take some users a while to open up to one another and create that space they are seeking so please be patient with each other.
Our mission
Our mission is to create a global community of users who feel safe in our space and don't feel alone in what they're going through. We may not be able to ease each other's pain but we can support each other day by day as we get through life's hurdles. We hope to decrease loneliness and prevent the declining of poor mental health before it reaches the point of diagnosis.
