Calling up Justice member Jesenia @NeuroSpicyNetworking was featured on Beyond Deconstructing Podcast. In this episode of Beyond Deconstructing, host Tierra had an electrifying conversation with Jesenia, founder of the NeuroSpicy Networking and One Free Community. We dive into how intersectionality plays a role in how often women of color are not seen or represented in the conversation about autism. We also explain how the colonial mindset and all of it’s children (the ISMs – racism, sexism, capitalism, ableism, etc.) impact all of us, but especially the most marginalized among us.
During our last Accessible Innovation session we experimented with a artificial intelligence technology that creates a slidedeck presentation based on your text. We didn’t love the design choices, and it added inaccurate information. We think fine tuning the data helps but the white bias in the design can only be fixed by the programmers at google.

We produced this as a fundraiser for Maiama’s recovery fund.
These are the courageous space agreements provided by TAP for the AAAA workshop we produced together. They say “courageous” and not “safe space” because safe space equals comfort and they are inviting participants to step outside of their comfort zone so that you can grow today. Spaces are often unsafe for people of color.
