What happens when you’re capable, curious, and doing “everything right”… but the next step still feels unclear?

In this episode of the Black-Liberation.Tech Podcast, Dr. Renée Jordan responds to five powerful questions from listeners who identify with Ashley—high-achieving, thoughtful, and quietly unsure—and opens the door for those who identify with Jasmine, who may be navigating uncertainty in real time.

Together, we explore:

• How to tell the difference between fear and a real signal to pivot
• Which skills matter before you know your final career destination
• How to make choices without disappointing your family—or yourself
• What to do when you’re interested in too many things
• How to trust yourself when the next step isn’t obvious

This episode is not about rushing to clarity. It’s about learning how to listen to yourself, recognize patterns, and move forward with intention—even when the map isn’t finished yet.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m doing well, but I still feel unsure,” this conversation is for you.

What if you know you’re capable—but you don’t feel confident yet?

In this Q&A-style episode of the Black-Liberation.Tech Podcast, Dr. Renée Jordan returns to a core theme from Season 1—“I did it because I can”—and answers the quiet, thoughtful questions that high-achieving women often carry but don’t always say out loud.

This episode is for you if you’re doing well on paper, staying curious, and moving forward—but still wondering:

• How did she know she could before she had proof?
• Is it okay that I don’t feel confident yet?
• What if I’m interested in more than one path?
• What if I don’t have a five-year plan?
• What happens when the path I chose doesn’t fit anymore?

Rather than offering quick fixes or pressure-filled advice, this conversation centers reflection, permission, and evidence already present in your life. Dr. Jordan shares personal stories, mindset shifts, and coaching insights to help you recognize that uncertainty doesn’t mean you’re behind—it often means you’re paying attention.

Whether you’re a student, early-career professional, or someone navigating a pivot, this episode invites you to slow down, reflect, and trust the next honest step.

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.
