Tea N Technology

Black Women for Wellness began Internet Quilt in 2000, weaving together a diverse array of technology tools to increase African American women and girls’ ability to utilize technology while enhancing health and well being. Tea N Technology began as an afternoon conversation, to build skills, highlight trends, and dissect and problem-solve technology challenges troubling the African American community, in a non-threatening environment. As a result of the partnership between Message Media Ed and Black Women for Wellness, participants in The Digital Elders Project will continue utilizing and learning new skills with Tea N Technology. The series of Friday afternoon trainings will cover: Internet navigation, Facebook, blogging, texting, instant messaging, email, websites, photo sharing and Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, flyer design and online advocacy. As a culminating project, participants will utilize and apply their new skills and collaboratively design an online advocacy campaign for a local non-profit. Tea N Technology will be facilitated by Shani Byard-Ngunjiri, Founder of Message Media Ed. Black Women for Wellness is funded through California Consumer Protection Foundation to provide Tea N Technology.
