Session 54: Shedding Your Superwoman Status

The future is here, and it looks like deepfakes of real people saying fake things, chatbots claiming to have human-level consciousness, and evil robots ready to take everyone’s jobs. Artificial Intelligence, while only just recently becoming widespread and accessible, is transforming our world in ways that make understanding it more crucial than ever. Joining me for today’s important conversation on the ethical implications of AI is Dr. Joy Buolamwini. She is the founder of the Algorithmic Justice League, an award-winning researcher, and poet of code. Dr. Joy is the author of the national best-selling book, Unmasking AI: My Mission to Protect What is Human in a World of Machines.

During our conversation, we examined some of the basic definitions, players, and concerns associated with AI, how biases are transferred in the creation of AI and then reflected in its application, and lastly, the specific challenges AI poses particularly for communities of color.

Many of you in our community are familiar with Wendy and Jess of the Food Heaven podcast, who joined us in 2022 for a conversation about developing a healthy relationship with food. Well, the dynamic duo of BFFs and registered dietician nutritionists are back — this time in honor of National Diabetes Month — to discuss their new platform, Diabetes Digital. Diabetes Digital is an insurance-covered telehealth platform designed to empower individuals to manage and prevent diabetes through 1:1 virtual nutrition counseling. During my conversation with Wendy and Jess, we discuss not just how you might benefit from getting involved with their new platform, but also how to generally manage stress, diet, and lifestyle concerns that may come up after a diabetes or prediabetes diagnosis.

Last week, Amazon dropped the highly-anticipated documentary Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Own Words, directed by Nneka Onuorah. It’s no secret how much we love Megan over here, and this documentary brilliantly showcases the rise of one of the most charismatic and lovable rappers in the game, while also allowing Megan to be vulnerable in discussions of her mental health after several tragedies. 

Today I'm joined by the director, Nneka, to learn more about how she approached the documentary. During our conversation she gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how the film was created, while also discussing what she hopes you’ll take away from the film, especially when it comes to ideas like grief and wellness in the Black community.
