Note sull'episodio
In this story-time episode of Black-Liberation.Tech, Dr. Renée Jordan invites listeners into the media center to listen in on four interconnected stories from the Embracing Digital Literacies lesson.
Through the voices of Tia, Nadine, Ebony, Nicole, Jazmin, Sharlene, Dominique, and Jaleesa, we explore what digital literacies look like in real life for Latinas, Afro-Latinas, and Black women and girls—from asking better questions to streaming your work in public.
At the end of the episode, Dr. Jordan invites you to choose your own project focus—personal, academic, or professional—and shares her plan to work on a professional project to promote Black-Liberation.Tech and Jordan Nuance LLC.
This episode is a gentle but powerful reminder: digital literacies are not just for middle schoolers. They are life-long practices for all ages and stages.
Episode Highlights
- A circle of girls, mothers, and tech professionals gathers in a media center to explore digital literacies as everyday skills—not just buzzwords.
- In Embracing Digital Literacies, the focus is on asking questions and communicating with confidence—online and offline.
- In Digital Literacies in Action, listeners hear concrete examples of connecting, DM’ing, dividing tasks, and justifying decisions in digital spaces.
- In The Digital Literacies Journey, the conversation expands to interaction, promotion, publicizing, and streaming as ways to build community and visibility.
- In Digital Literacies Workshop, teaching and taking digital notes become central practices for sharing knowledge and tracking growth.
- Dr. Jordan closes by inviting listeners to choose a project focus—personal, academic, or professional—and models that choice by naming her own: a professional project to promote Black-Liberation.Tech and Jordan Nuance LLC.
Reflective Questions for Listeners
- Which character or moment in the stories sounded the most like you right now? Was it asking questions, DM’ing, teaching, streaming, or something else?
- When you think about your own digital life, which literacy feels strongest—asking/communicating, connecting/collaborating, promoting/publicizing, or teaching/taking notes? Which one would you like to grow next?
- If you chose a personal, academic, or professional project today, what would it be? How could digital literacies help you move that project forward?
- Where in your current routines are you already practicing digital literacies without naming them? (For example: group chats, reposting opportunities, live-streaming, or documenting your process.)
- Who are the women in your life—family, community, or online—who model healthy, liberating digital practices? What have you learned from watching them?
- After hearing these stories, what’s one concrete action you can take this week to move your project from idea to reality?
