Six More Weeks of Late-Stage Capitalism? No,Thanks.

I’m not waiting until the next election to build better!

Hey girl,hey ! Let’s talk about something big: AI, empathy, and making sure the digital future isn’t just a rerun of the same old biases. Since 2020, I’ve been building a better version of the internet—one where entrepreneurs, especially women, ALL WOMEN, have access to the tools, funding, and tech they actually need. And now, with AI evolving at lightning speed, we need to ensure it works for us, not against us.

Even if you ‘don’t do tech very well’… or at all…I just want to share this ON REPEAT:

Tech is just a way to do something, like a hammer or even a nail file. 

And, girl, lemme just tell you, I’m on the front lines of this next tech movement. I am 100% your direct, to the point, tech bestie who will not mansplain this stuff! I will share insights, workshops and BOOST camps to propel us ALL forward into the future. As my Mama would say, ‘Don’t look back because you aren’t going that way!’

🦫 Groundhog Day, But Make It AI…But that AI is Powered by HI!

Happy Groundhog Day! But let’s not continue on the loop of the last two weeks or how ever many years because spoiler alert: We are not doing this late-stage capitalism, business burnout cycle again.OK? OK!

If AI is going to keep advancing, we have to make sure it's not just an endless loop of the same biases and bad decisions which leave out the larger swath humanity. Women make up over half of the global population and we contribute huge amounts to each economy we live in. AI needs our Human Intelligence (HI) to thrive. Best be the HI of Women, too!

You know that feeling when you wake up, check your phone, and it’s the same chaotic news cycle, the same economic struggle, the same bro-y tech execs telling us how the future is unfolding? Yeah, same.

But here’s the thing: we don’t have to live in this déjà vu dystopia. We can actively shape AI to work for us, not just for the people who built it. That starts with empathy, ethical tech, and making sure business owners—especially women—have the tools to boss the bots instead of getting steamrolled by them.

✨ Ready to stop watching the same bad tech cycle on repeat? Join Q2 Boost Camp and demystify AI with me. It’s time to integrate tech into your business without losing your humanity. Let's break the cycle together!

💡 The Future is AI + HI (Human Intelligence)

Empathy is our competitive advantage. If we want AI to work for us, we have to lead with intention, demand ethical development, and boss the bots before they boss us. What’s your take?

I’ll be leading talks on this subject both online (LinkedIn, because Meta can get outta my digital life) and in person—Portland area for Q1 and into Q2 2025. Want to join me in a virtual LIVE convo? Tag me on LinkedIn and let’s discuss!

💰 The Funding Gap & Tech Accessibility

Women entrepreneurs—especially BIPOC women—are still receiving only a fraction of available funding. AI could help bridge this gap if we design it correctly. Platforms like Carta and FounderSuite are leading the charge in funding transparency, but we need to ensure that access isn’t just for the few.

🌍 #Tequity = Tech + Equity

Tech should work for us, not control us. Organizations like All Tech is Human and Humma.AI are pushing for ethical AI development, ensuring diverse perspectives are included from the ground up. The Ethical Tech Collective is another must-watch, prioritizing AI that reflects all of humanity.

Keep going, friend! We can be the change that we want to see in this world because we refuse to wake up again in six more weeks of hustle culture and no real progress.

So please, don’t give up. Lean in and let’s build better businesses 4 good.

With you always & looking ahead!
