Technology has long been celebrated for its ability to connect people across continents, cultures, and ideologies. But in that same breath, it’s also been accused of widening divides, replacing intimacy with interfaces and transforming people into data points.
Amid this paradox stands Preska Thomas, who sees in technology not just utility, but humanity. Her platform, DebitMyData, is built on the radical idea that tech should not just connect us digitally but restore us emotionally and economically as well.
At its core, DebitMyData isn’t simply a product of innovation—it’s a product of empathy. Preska’s journey began not just with a desire to fix what’s broken in the data economy, but to heal what’s fractured in the global human experience. In her world, data is not merely information; it is a personal artifact, a reflection of our behaviors, our choices, our lives. And when that data is taken without acknowledgment, sold without consent, and monetized without reciprocity, it mirrors a broader cultural disconnection—one where people are seen as inputs rather than individuals.
Preska’s solution is refreshingly human. Through DebitMyData, users are empowered to control, license, and earn from their personal data, all within a secure, transparent ecosystem. But beyond financial compensation, what users truly gain is a sense of sovereignty. That power—to choose how one’s digital identity is used—is the first step in reconnecting with a world that often feels exploitative and impersonal.
And this isn’t just happening in boardrooms or beta communities. It’s happening in rural villages where internet access is finally becoming available. In urban neighborhoods where gig workers hustle daily to stay afloat. In developing countries where young people, long excluded from global tech platforms, are finally stepping into the digital marketplace on their own terms. DebitMyData isn’t just offering people income—it’s offering them inclusion.
Preska’s global vision sets her apart. She doesn’t see her platform as a U.S.-centric solution to a Western problem. She sees it as a scalable framework with the potential to uplift individuals in every corner of the globe. Her partnerships extend beyond venture capital; they reach into grassroots networks, educational initiatives, and policy-driven think tanks. She knows that real connection happens when technology is built not just for people, but with them.
In a society flooded with notifications, noise, and digital clutter, Preska brings clarity. She reminds us that technology should not desensitize us—it should deepen our understanding of one another. By realigning digital infrastructure with moral values, she’s reimagining what connection looks like. DebitMyData is a quiet revolution in a loud world.
As more individuals search for meaning in the digital chaos, DebitMyData stands as a rare oasis—calm, clear, and conscious. A place where your presence has value. Your privacy has power. And your participation shapes the future.
