Black on the Internet Co-presented by Firelight Media’s Beyond Resilience series

With Chica Andrade, Jazmin Jones, Neema Githere Siphon, moderated by Sarah Jackson

This panel will explore the relationship between Black folks and the digital world. We will discuss how the Black community — particularly Black women and nonbinary people — use the internet as a vital resource for seeking support, and advocating for social justice, while also addressing the significant safety and privacy concerns that arise. We’d like to unpack the dual-edged nature of the internet, highlighting it as a tool but also revealing the vulnerabilities and threats that Black people specifically face.
