Curate & Circulate: Reposting, Unfollowing, and the Art of Digital Stewardship

In this episode of Black-Liberation.Tech, Dr. Renee Jordan explores two often overlooked digital literacies—reposting and unfollowing—as acts of stewardship, integrity, and care.

Rather than treating these actions as passive clicks, Dr. Jordan reframes them as intentional strategies for community building and professional growth. From sharing opportunities ethically to curating a peaceful, purpose-driven feed, this conversation centers how Black, Afro-Latina, and Latina women in tech and education use digital discernment to sustain both creativity and well-being.

Listeners will learn how to:

• Repost content that informs, uplifts, and democratizes knowledge
• Give proper credit and add value when amplifying others’ voices
• Unfollow and mute with purpose—protecting focus without damaging relationships
• Build camaraderie through transparency, empathy, and professional boundaries
• Turn curation into a liberation practice rooted in Ubuntu and community care

Because in the end, digital freedom isn’t just about who you follow—it’s about how you circulate care.

Key Takeaways
