BU BÖLÜM HAKKINDA
Dr. Sandra Morgan is joined by Alana Stott and her daughter Mollie Stott. The three discuss the importance of cyber-safety and conversations between parents and their children that will ensure cyber-safety.
Alana Stott
A true multi-hyphenate Alana founded and developed Wolfraven Omnimedia as a vehicle to help tell amazing and inspirational stories, including her own, while fiercely advocating for causes aimed at making the world a better place. Stott has written the game-changing business and philanthropy book, “How to Ask for Money;” her powerful memoir, “She Who Dares;” and a series of empowering children’s books – all to be published in 2023. In 2018, Alana Stott raised $1.3 million dollars for a mental health awareness campaign at the request of Prince Harry and Stott’s husband Dean Stott, a double world record-breaking cross-country cyclist, TV presenter and former UK Special Forces Operator. This was not her first stint in fundraising. Much like her working life, her business and philanthropic career paths started early. Alana Stott qualified as a Ship Security Officer and one of the first women to receive the Company Security Officer designation, qualifying her to run security on any vessel at sea. She is also a fully-qualified Close Protection Officer. Stott is an honorary member of The Special Boat Services Association, the UK equivalent of The Navy’s Seal Team 6. She has organized multiple grand red carpet events to raise funds for injured special forces soldiers and their families. Alana was award the title of Member of The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) on the King’s Honor List 2023 for her work supporting vulnerable women and mental health awareness.
Key Points
- Alana Stott wrote three children’s books for the purpose of opening up different conversations to educate youth. Her book “Live Your Own Way” teaches children that it is okay to have your own adventures, and that you don’t always have to do what those around you are doing. “Who to Help Today” emphasizes the little opportunities we all have to help those around us. “Me and My Friends Play” displays the beauty in childhood friendships and how barriers that often keep us from connecting, are not an issue with youth.
- Mollie practices cyber-safety by keeping her location services off, keeping her accounts private, and denying any follow requests from those she doesn’t know. She also blocks accounts that she is concerned about, or brings her concerns to her mom, Alana.
- It’s important for youth to be educated about cyber-safety because they can easily spot unsafe situations that their friends might be going through. By giving youth the tools to be safe online, they can help their peers to do the same.
- Having conversations with our youth about how to be safe online allows them to feel good about talking to parents about their concerns and feelings.
