    How to center accessibility & human experience in AI product design with Torin Ellis

    What if the biggest problem in AI product design isn’t the model but the data? On this episode of The Tech Girl Podcast, host Gertrude Chilufya sits down with diversity strategist and Ngoma founder Torin Ellis to explore why building trustworthy AI starts with centering the lived experiences of people with disabilities. Torin shares how his background in DEI and HR analytics led him to a powerful realization: AI trust is a data problem before it’s a model problem. Together, they unpack how exclusion from training data creates blind spots in AI systems and why the disability community is often overlooked despite being one of the most marginalized groups in the workforce. From LLM hallucinations and abstention failures to the risks AI poses in hiring, healthcare, finance, and autonomous vehicles, this conversation challenges organizations to rethink how they design and deploy technology. Torin breaks down why synthesized data isn’t a silver bullet, how prompt specificity and chain-of-thought guidance impacts outcomes, and why companies must ask a simple but critical question: “Who’s missing?” This episode reframes inclusion not just as a moral imperative, but also as fiduciary, legal, and reputational risk management in the age of AI.

    Welcome to another episode of the Tech Girl Podcast! Host Gertrude Chilufya sits down with culture strategist and Anchor & Flow founder Whitney K. Simon to explore the true power of the diversity dividend in today’s workplaces.

Why she launched her consultancy Anchor & Flow to help organizations balance stability (“anchors”) with adaptability (“flow”) in their workplace culture. The conversation dives into the growing backlash around DEI and the gap between corporate trainings and real change. Whitney explains why meaningful progress requires uncomfortable conversations, accountability, and practical action beyond performative gestures. From reverse mentoring and generational tensions to the limitations of one-size-fits-all diversity strategies, this episode offers candid insights and actionable ideas for leaders and employees alike. Whitney also shares how individuals especially those without formal authority can still create impact through community, dialogue, and consistent action.

    Why accessibility is smart for business with Angela Fowler

    What if accessibility isn’t just compliance but a competitive advantage?  Welcome to another episode of the Tech Girl Podcast! Host Gertrude Chilufya sits down with Angela Fowler, blind accessibility consultant and founder of Real Life Access, to unpack why inclusion is more than compliance, it’s smart business. After navigating wildly inconsistent online experiences, Angela built her company to help organizations move beyond surface-level fixes and embrace holistic accessibility. From screen reader-friendly code and labeled buttons to closed captions and uncluttered retail spaces, she explains how inclusive design benefits everyone and why accessible websites often rank higher in search because search engines crawl code just like screen readers do. The conversation also dives into why industries like banking lead while government lags, how adversarial messaging hurts progress, and why developer and MBA programs must prioritize accessibility education. Angela shares insights on service-dog training, fake service animals, merit-based hiring, and why “check-the-box” diversity hires ultimately fail businesses and people alike. This conversation challenges leaders to see accessibility as both a human responsibility and a strategic advantage. 🔗 Connect with Angela: Website: www.reallifeaccess.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/angela-fowler-a11y/ Podcast Produced by LeTroy Gardner & Mario Washington | Fourcast Media.
