Book excerpt from Don't Knock the Hustle: @IssaRae turned YouTube into her own innovation lab, illustrating how the channel has been adopted by young creative storytellers to prototype the future of television: diverse, inclusive, and woman-centered.

From Don't Knock the Hustle: Hollywood's writer's rooms remain overwhelmingly white. How did @JSim07 deal with this barrier to writing Dear White People? He used Twitter as a virtual writer's room, crowdsourcing ideas for his main characters, jokes, and storylines.

#COVIDー19 Our research predicted that many students would flee school-based online learning. Here's why: fromthesquare.org/underutilizing…

A new piece on #COVIDー19 , the high stakes for children, and why ethical design in tech should be mandatory:

How do we substantively address the #systemicracism laid bare by #COVID19 and #GeorgeFloyd? We must address the learning divide in the US. My research team spent 1.5 years in a high school and saw up close how Black and Latinx students are failed by public education. In my book…

TheDigitalEdge, we explain how school's are "technology rich, but curriculum poor." Whereas educators & policy makers focus on acquiring more technology schools must develop curriculum that expands the opportunities for Black & Latinx students to develop "future ready skills."

These skills include the ability to ask novel questions, grapple with complexity, identify problems/propose solutions, & use data to assert agency. Black & Latinx students seldom have the opportunity to cultivate these skills even as they connect to more equitable futures.

One of the enduring effects of #COVID19 will be the toll on #mentalhealth. In this piece, I write about a new initiative to grapple with the #mentalhealth challenges ahead:medium.com/good-systems/a…
