The best way I can describe Ari Melenciano is that she is a renaissance talent. As an artist, researcher, and creative technologist, Ari is always finding new ways to express herself, speak to social issues, and find ways to use her art to enhance the lives of everyday people.
Ari talked about her residency at NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program, which helped her create Afrotectopia, a multi-day new media arts, culture and technology festival. She also spoke about growing up around art and music, including how technology ended up being the catalyst for the work she does now. I don't want to spoil this great conversation too much -- we were both coming off of this year's Black in Design Conference, and I think you'll really feel the spirit and energy that both of us still had from the event! Ari is out here doing important and vital work, and this episode captures that perfectly. Thank you Ari for showing us a vision of an equitable future!

Shout out to @ashleyjanelewis and Razakh for presenting the insights from the Decolonizing Blackness workshop facilitated by @neticrebel and I during @afrotectopia. We originally came up with 24 ingredients to Black Liberation and Decolonization , which we have now synthesized down to 10. This experience was a blessing and am thankful to all our collaborators who participated in our think tank! Peace ✌🏿 . . . 10 ingredients for Black Liberation and Decolonization (the abridged version): :: 1- Commit to Knowledge of Self :: 2- Practice Pan African Solidarity across the Diaspora :: 3- Live and Lead an Authentic Life :: 4- Practice Self-Care: Mentally, Physically, and Spiritually :: 5- Reclaim Our Narratives and Traditions :: 6- Jumpstart Generational Wealth (Invest in Black Businesses) :: 7- Develop Black Algorithms :: 8- Embrace the Spectrum and Intersectionality if Black Identities :: 9- Pay it Forward :: 10- Secure Black Futures by Developing our Own Institutions #afrotectopia #decolonizingblackness #liberation #blacksolidarity #diaspora #blm #wakandaforever (at Afrotectopia)

I am honored to have been invited to join a list of bright minds to speak on a panel and lead a Think Tank during #afrotectopia at @nyu :: Decolonizing Blackness, Securing Black Futures Think Tank :: Facilitated by Rasu Jilani :: In the era of #wokeness, Black Lives Matter, and Black pride, oftentimes the notions of blackness can fall into the trappings of being defined in contrast to whiteness. The drawback with this framework is that freedom becomes an elusive ideal when tethered to the white-gaze. This Think Tank is intended to be a meeting of the minds in order to share ideas, theories, experiences, practices of self-awareness and decolonization. Participants will collectively tackle complex topics concerning black futures.
