"Tech has the power to take us one step forward and also ten steps back...race is not a risk factor, racism is." - @YESHICAN on how health risk calculators disadvantaged black people and access to healthcare @FAccTConference #facct21
"Any intervention that does not built the political power, agency, and self determination of those most vulnerable, is more likely to harm than help (on use of data for building tech solutions and systems)" - @YESHICAN at @FAccTConference
"Any solution without the direct involvement of those impacted, is no solution at all. A big question to ask is not just what do we need to do, but who do we need to be in this time of data weaponization," - powerful key note by @YESHICAN at @FAccTConference
"There is no amount of data that I can show you, if you do not want to face the truth" @Yeshican's keynote from @Data4BlackLives on obsession with data, on impact on black lives, and the need for mixed and qualitative methods informing policy shifts @FAccTConference #facct21
"What do we need to unlearn? What are the ways in which biases have creeped into us? How are we programmed?" incredible closing to a stellar keynote by @YESHICAN from @Data4BlackLives at @FAccTConference #facct21
