    s1e4: Technology in Movements with Tawana Petty

    “It’s not our fault but it is our fight.” -Monica Lewis Patrick In this episode of Radicals for Good, we discuss utilizing technology in movement spaces and what digital justice could look like in Detroit with Tawana Petty, a mother, digital justice organizer, poet, and author. Tawana Petty, also known by her poetry stage name Honeycomb, is a mother, social justice organizer, poet, author, facilitator and keynote lecturer. Her work focuses on racial justice, equity, privacy, and consent. She is the founding Executive Director of Petty Propolis, Inc., an artist incubator, which leverages poetry, policy literacy and advocacy, anti-racism facilitation, political education and community-centered initiatives in pursuit of data and digital justice and racial and environmental justice. In 2024, Petty was named on Business Insider’s AI Power List for Policy and Ethics.

    Season 1 Episode 1 - Radical Introductions

    On our very first episode of Radicals for Good, we give a radical introduction to our podcast and host. We discuss the history and current moment of Detroit and why we believe hosting this podcast in the most radical city in the United States is timely and necessary. And why we believe it’s important to share this podcast in this moment ‘on the clock of the world’.
