The digital divide is the gap between those who have access to digital technologies and resources and those who do not.  If you asked most people what the digital divide was, they would probably assume it’s a reference to Internet access or computer usage. While these are both accurate representations of the digital divide, there’s more to it than that. The digital divide is actually a social divide that exists between individuals based on their access to technology and its benefits. In other words, it’s the disparity in technological knowledge, skills, and usage among different social groups.  One of the areas in which this divide has massive implications is privacy. For example, state governments that surveil women who are seeking abortions can discourage them from going online and taking advantage of all of the benefits that technology has to offer for entrepreneurship, education, and remote work.   Bio  Joi O. Chaney is a domestic legal policy expert, a political strategist, and currently the Executive Director of the Washington Bureau and Senior Vice President, Policy and Advocacy at the National Urban League. The Washington Bureau represents the League before the Legislative and Executive Branches, leads policy discussions that advance economic and social equality for the communities we serve, and engages the Urban League movement in advocacy campaigns aimed at achieving policy wins.

Joi Chaney & Alisa Valentin: The Digital Divide - How Technology Impacts Our Lives

Dear Minority Leaders,It has been far too long since I published an episode.  Life has been busy, to say the least. I've missed you all and am glad to  come back like a lion with  this episode,  featuring  the National Urban League's Joi Chaney, Executive Director of the Washington Bureau and Senior Vice President, Policy and Advocacy. Recorded on April 17, 2021,  the conversation may be a few months old,  but from COVID-19, to racial justice, to equal pay,  to  the value of women friendships,  Joi and I discuss topics that are still incredibly timely and important.   Joi's wisdom and fortitude are reassuring. Her kindness and grace are a breath of fresh air. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. With gratitude and inspiration,Algene Guest BioA  Conversation with Joi Chaney, Executive Director of the Washington Bureau and Senior Vice President, Policy and Advocacy.
