RT @alicekorngold: Colleague @funmiarewa & I are appreciating the growth in demand for our #DEI #CorpGov work which is far greater now that it has been in the past 30 years. One thing we cannot understand: Nothing is accomplished by shaming & scolding. Not an effective app…

Excited to start work with the great team at @VillageReach tinyurl.com/46et7jpv

@alicekorngold 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

The premise: “A colonial past doesn’t actually determine a future destiny. Technology offers a possibility of different future paths. But it’s not going to happen unless we make room conceptually and on the ground for those future possible paths.” ~ @funmiarewa

.@funmiarewa: “The closest thing I see today to civilization talk is tech optimism. But one way technology can help to address continuing patterns of exclusion is to have a culture of radical transparency”

We began developing a shared resource list that we hope can combine with other efforts, inspire new reading groups, and continue educating an ever-wider audience. I will thread these and ask others to continue

.@Akinyi_Li called for a decolonization of the mind in African countries themselves - and more tools to support vigilance in not reproducing colonial patterns in forms of engagement externally
