Historically, black women like Ida B. Wells, Mary McLeod Bethune, Alice Walker, Renita Weems, and Kimberle Crenshaw have played pivotal roles in dreaming and prophesying liberating social movements for black people in the US. In this unforgettable rhythmic “call and response” #SayHerName tribute to past and present black women seers, Dr. Fallon Wilson dramatizes how black women technologists like Joy Buolamwini, Felecia Hatcher, Sherell Dorsey, Morgan Debaun, and Yeshimebet Milner are prophetic vanguard generals dreaming and building radical black tech ecosystems in spite of those who seek their silence.
