About URAWarrior
Who We are
URAWarrior is a compassionate community dedicated to empowering individuals to overcome depression and stress. We provide a safe space and resources to help you rediscover your strength and hope.
URAWarrior is a human-centered, AI-powered mental and emotional wellness platform designed to support people in the real world, at scale. We exist to address the growing crisis of burnout, disengagement, and emotional exhaustion across workplaces, universities, healthcare systems, and high-pressure environments.
Founded by Bershan Shaw, a two-time stage four breast cancer survivor and global leadership coach, URAWarrior was created from lived experience. The platform was built to go beyond awareness and access, focusing instead on daily emotional support, real engagement, and measurable outcomes.
URAWarrior treats mental wellness as a performance enabler, a retention strategy, and a human necessity, not as a secondary benefit or a reactive solution.

Bershan's Story
I grew up embarrassed that my family was dealing with mental illness. My mom tried to hide her truth. She was embarrassed about family issues she experienced while growing up. My mother ignored the trauma and pain and tried to push the experiences away. She turned a blind eye to it, that’s when I realized that mental illness and dealing with mental health is cyclical. Now, as an adult, I am a champion for mental health and wellness. I know all too well how people suffer in silence and not do anything about it. I DID! And I don’t want anyone to experience the mental and emotional suffering I lived through growing up.
Yet, post-pandemic, mental health concerns are at a crisis level. Isolation and loss of social touch have impacted our well-being. Opioid addiction has skyrocketed. Crime is on the rise and Suicide numbers are at an all time high. On a very personal note, I witnessed my neighbor’s heavy emotions mere hours before he died by suicide. Even Elon Musk said, “I’m at the top of my game and I’m one of the richest people in the world but I feel lonely.”
The most unexpected events have rocked our lives. These events triggered me to speak up, advocate and take charge. I BECAME A WARRIOR! I self-funded this app because I know it’s needed worldwide. And, without hesitation, I birthed the URAWARRIOR app- For teenagers, young adults, men and women who may be embarrassed about their mental struggles and hiding their truth. With URAWarrior, no one needs to suffer in silence. The name URAWARRIOR was created during my days as a stage 4 breast cancer thriver. Doctors told me I had three months to live. Can you imagine one day being a healthy, fun-loving young woman at the prime of my life, and then being told such devastating news.
