Tech, Politics & Black Innovation

Technology increasingly shapes how people access information, understand institutions, and participate in civic life. In this episode, I sit down with Drew Stephenson, an engineer, actor, and entrepreneur who developed a political engagement app designed to make civic information more accessible and actionable.We explore the intersection of engineering, entrepreneurship, and public systems—examining how technology can simplify complex civic processes while maintaining responsibility, transparency, and user trust.This conversation moves beyond headlines to focus on how tools are built, why civic literacy matters in a digital environment, and what it takes to create technology that supports informed participation.Link to
