What I do

"The most radical, audacious thing to think is that there might be some point to working hard and thinking hard and reading hard and writing hard and trying to be of service."

- Mark Vonnegut (son of Kurt Vonnegut), from the introduction of a collection of posthumously published works in "Armageddon in Retrospect."

What I care about

Addressing how digital design labs might foster engagement with wider black communities of engineers, producers, and end users to ensure their inclusion and insights are a focal point for cutting-edge research on the role of digital transformation of organizations and industries.

How I connect to the D^3 Mission

The blackbox Lab shares the institute's mission of identifying key challenges and opportunities with respect to the design and deployment of AI and digital platforms but places an emphasis on the representation of blackness and the black experience in such digital spaces.
