Here Is What Dr. Wright Said
With a dedication to enhancing lives through education, Dr. Wright stands as a catalyst for change, empowering communities and families. At the recent National Parents Unions Town Hall, Dr. Wright gave insights on the significance of AI literacy, speaking of empowerment and equity. She stated, “We at Disruptive Partners are an education Innovation firm that works with superintendents, schools, districts, and local communities. My current most crucial role is to be the disruptive change partner and the mother of two joyful, peaceful, powerful black children.”
She further said while emphasizing the imperative need for a baseline understanding of AI, “Whether you like it or not, you need to understand the power of AI. When I speak about it, I speak about the power and potential it has for everyone, especially for the black communities, for historically ignored communities, for our children in school.”
Drawing from personal experience, Dr. Wright recounts her journey with AI, particularly in the context of her adult ADHD diagnosis. AI became her ally, facilitating communication and productivity in professional spaces where her neurodivergent tendencies posed challenges. This pivotal moment ignited her passion for leveraging AI to empower others, especially students facing educational barriers.
Not Only This
In her work with students, Dr. Wright witnessed firsthand the transformative power of AI in amplifying voices and unlocking potential. Dr. Wright enabled students to articulate their thoughts and stories by providing alternative avenues for expression through AI-powered tools, fostering a newfound sense of confidence and brilliance.
The results were tangible: increased literacy levels, improved engagement, and a resurgence of self-belief among students which was previously limited by traditional educational methods.
AI Literacy Is More Than Tech Proficiency:
For Dr. Wright, AI literacy represents more than technical proficiency. It symbolizes a form of cultural literacy—reclaiming narratives and voices long marginalized by societal structures. In her impassioned plea, she calls for democratizing AI literacy, envisioning a future where communities harness AI to amplify their brilliance and drive positive change.
During the live session, Dr. Anashay mentioned that her vision goes far beyond mere access; it encompasses the cultivation of knowledge and skills necessary to fully harness AI’s potential.
As we celebrate National AI Literacy Day, Dr. Wright stated, “It’s the sum of us that is more powerful than any of us.” Her words serve as a rallying cry for collaboration, partnership, and collective action in pursuing educational equity and empowerment.
