Setting Boundaries
đź“– Episode Description
In this episode of Black-Liberation.Tech, we explore what it means to set digital boundaries and truly own your online space. Guided by the story of Nicole, a Puerto Rican UX researcher, and a group of mothers and daughters, we unpack the idea of “protected access”—not just being online, but being safe, intentional, and in control. From cookies and trackers to posting art and poetry, we ask: how do we create boundaries that let us thrive online while protecting what matters most?
đź“ť Show Notes
In this episode, Dr. Renée Jordan tells the story of the Owning Your Digital Space workshop where teenage girls and their mothers dive into conversations about privacy, safety, and empowerment in digital life. Listeners will hear how setting online boundaries is an act of self-care and self-determination, especially for Black, Afro-Latino and Latino communities navigating a digital world that often takes more than it gives.
Key themes include:
- Protected access vs. open access
- How to manage cookies, trackers, and app permissions
- Balancing creativity and safety when sharing online
- Family-centered strategies for guarding digital space
- Why setting boundaries is a tool of liberation in tech
✨ Highlights
- “Protected access is about more than passwords—it’s about choice and control.”
- “We can love tech, but tech doesn’t always love us back.”
- “Before you post, ask yourself: Do I control where this goes? Do I trust who’s on the other side?”
- “It’s not about saying no, it’s about saying yes… but safely.”
- “The internet is an ocean—boundaries are your lifeguard, map, and life jacket.”
đź’ Reflective Questions for Listeners
- What “digital doors” are you opening without realizing it when you accept cookies or app permissions?
- How do you feel about devices that are “always on” with cameras and microphones?
- What boundaries do you want to set around your online creativity, whether that’s writing, art, or posting personal updates?
- What’s one “Guard Your Space” rule you and your family or friends could practice together?
- How does setting digital boundaries connect to protecting your peace and identity offline?
