This week is a workshop. After Episode 17 named the problem, Episode 18 gives you the practice. Pull out your notes app — Lori walks you through four mindset moves and a live prompting demo for creating bold, specific, authentic Black imagery with AI tools that weren't built with us in mind.

The Four Mindset Moves:

1. The default is not the destination

2. Specificity is love (and the Six Layers framework)

3. Cross-check the mirror

4. AI rough, human polish

The Six Layers of Loving Specificity: Skin · Hair · Features · Expression · Light · Style

Scripture: Joshua 1:9 (KJV)

Homework:

• Rewrite an old prompt using the Six Layers — generate ten variations

• Start a Show Me The Default folder

• Cross-check one piece in three different tools — note the differences

DM me your before-and-afters. I read every one.

Just Lori — I Can Only Be Me. New episodes every Tuesday. Demystifying AI, one conversation at a time.

Called. Covered. Commissioned. 🖤
