Join us on a riveting episode of the MKE Tech Podcast where we dive deep with Yeshi, the founder of Data for Black Lives, who shares her profound insights on how data serves as a tool for social change. Yeshi recounts her personal journey from activism to founding her organization, reflecting on pivotal moments that shaped her mission. She also discusses the "Decompress" program, an initiative that reclaims electronic music as a significant Black innovation and a medium for societal transformation.
In this episode, Yeshi explores the broader implications of data in addressing systemic issues within the Black community, from educational reforms to public health disparities. She passionately details the "Algorithm as Apartheid" campaign and its goals to dismantle data-driven discrimination. Additionally, she sheds light on the "No More Data Weapons" campaign, aimed at curtailing intrusive social media surveillance practices that disproportionately target Black communities.
As we approach the return of the Data for Black Lives conference, Yeshi invites us to look forward to a space of unity and constructive dialogue, where activists, scholars, and community members converge to drive meaningful change. This episode is a powerful testament to the role of data in amplifying voices and catalyzing community action. Join the conversation and be part of the movement towards equitable and inclusive data practices.
