Keep Me Posted is a podcast about the intersection of race, rights, democracy and justice in the digital age.

In the wake of the police murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Elijah McClain and so many other Black people, our society faces a reckoning - 400 years overdue - about anti-Black violence and white supremacy.

Tech companies are beginning to express their support for racial justice, but what effect does corporate rebranding have if Black people continue to be underrepresented in the tech world while overly impacted by anti-Blackness hard-wired into our algorithms and artificial intelligence?

This episode features a conversation with Mutale Nkonde, CEO of AI for the People.
