Innovation in oppressed communities is not about building social programs. Innovation is about selling goods and services, building jobs, and changing the idea that oppressed communities do not need the need technology. Connected X, IoT, robowriters, automated trading and machine learning are technologies that I have a great interest. I am a continuous learner its a core value and not a hobby. I am fortunate to recognize learning as a key value because my family, schools, friends etc supported me and instilled an importance on learning and working hard.
A shift in mindset needs to occur more frequently in the innovation community. I will throw on my product manager hat and build a customer journey map along with some customer vectors to predict some future outcomes of oppressed people in regard to the newest technologies such as machine learning, IoT etc and I would argue that there will be MORE people interested in these technologies who look like me act like me and care as much as me. The question that haunts my brain now is how do I build innovations to further encourage this thinking? How do I support and provide responsibility for disruptive technologies to communities that need them now and in the future?
I acknowledge I busted my once every four day window. I'll try not to let that happen again.
