In this episode of the Black-Liberation.Tech Podcast, we wrap up Lesson D2.1: Embracing Digital Literacies by moving from reflection into action.

I walk listeners through how to use digital literacies intentionally to design, build, and promote a meaningful project in their personal, academic, or professional life.

This episode features a real-time demonstration of how I used ChatGPT as a thinking partner (not a replacement for thinking) to develop my Social Media Marketing Plan as a professional project. I model how the same prompts can be adapted for two different target audiences to show how digital tools must be used with context, clarity, and purpose.

We also cover:

· How to generate project-specific prompts using ChatGPT

· How to search for video tutorials, blogs, and women-led resources

· How to organize tasks, set deadlines, and track progress

· How to connect with mentors and experts through professional DMs

· How to share your work and engage others without waiting for perfection

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clear roadmap for using digital literacies as tools for liberation, not overwhelm—and a reminder that your project doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful.

Whether you’re a learner, educator, career-changer, or creative, this episode will help you turn ideas into action—one prompt, one connection, and one step at a time.

In this episode of the Black-Liberation.Tech Podcast, we continue our Embracing Digital Literacies (D2.1) lesson by moving from reflection to creation.

This video focuses on Part 3: Creating Your Project Plan—where digital literacy becomes actionable. You’ll learn how to take an idea you care about and turn it into a clear, doable digital project using intentional planning, research, and connection.

We walk through:

• How to define your project title, purpose, and expected outcomes
• How to break a big idea into manageable, step-by-step tasks
• How to choose digital tools that actually support your goals
• How to find and learn from Latinas, Afro-Latinas, and Black women who’ve already completed similar projects
• How digital projects can support your academic, professional, or community goals

Using real-world examples from AI literacy, academic coaching, career coaching, and social media marketing, this lesson shows how community-centered digital projects are built with intention—not overwhelm or perfectionism.

Whether you’re planning a:

• Social media marketing campaign
• Podcast or YouTube channel
• Digital portfolio or website
• Educational resource or community initiative

This episode helps you shift from “I have an idea” to “I have a plan.”

In this episode of the Black-Liberation.Tech Podcast, Dr. Renee Jordan continues the Embracing Digital Literacies (D2.1) lesson by walking listeners through two powerful forms of digital interaction: streaming and teaching.

We explore how going live, sharing video, hosting workshops, and teaching online can be more than content creation—they can be acts of visibility, community care, and professional empowerment. Drawing from reflective prompts and real-world examples, this episode invites listeners to think critically about how they use streaming platforms and digital teaching tools to engage others, share knowledge, and build meaningful impact.

Centering the work of Latinas, Afro-Latinas, and Black women across media, business, tech, and education, this conversation highlights how culturally grounded storytelling, community building, and ethical use of digital tools can transform audiences into learners—and learners into collaborators.

This episode is for educators, creators, students, professionals, and anyone curious about how to show up online with intention—whether you’re teaching one person or streaming to many.

Episode Highlights / Key Takeaways

• Streaming as connection, not performance: How live-streaming and video sharing can foster dialogue, trust, and community rather than just visibility.
• From audience to community: Why the most impactful streamers prioritize safe spaces, interaction, and moderation.
• Teaching beyond classrooms: How blogs, podcasts, webinars, and tutorials function as modern teaching tools.
• Digital teaching that sticks: What makes online teaching effective—clarity, cultural relevance, storytelling, and care.
• Liberation-centered digital practice: Using streaming and teaching to resist gatekeeping, center marginalized voices, and democratize knowledge.
• Tools as partners, not replacements: How AI, platforms, and analytics can support—but never replace—judgment, ethics, or humanity.
