PASSION to create good information citizens and educated voters in our social age with a sense making framework we can all use.
After years of advancing digital literacy and community engagement in entrepreneurial ventures, I’m looking to bring my expertise in media and information integrity, stakeholder collaboration, and strategic comms to public service at the city, county, and state levels.

Advancing Digital & CIVIC LiteracY
CHECK OUT KIP, IT’S FOR ALL OF US
I have an idea. It’s good for people and good for democracy in the social age. And it’s fun to play?
I noticed we lack the infrastructure to make sense of news and current affairs today, leading to dire real consequences for people and society.
I thought about how I build trust in the sources I follow and ‘play’ the news. I do this for myself every day, as an infovore it’s a calming and even fun way to process what I see out there on my feed… I realized we can do it together with what I’ve built and patterned.
I wonder who’s connecting dots for you in media literacy, critical thinking, civic responsibility, holding power to account?
Disinformation tracks with current affairs and is employed across many fields, but we lack a unified solution...essentially, we are all frustrated sense makers.
KIP (“Knowledge Is Power”) aims to solve that with a current affairs framework for The Fifth Estate, for citizens, and for game lovers.
👇 Here’s my plan to provide a unified solution to the disinformation on social media that harms us as information citizens and voters — harming our democracy in the process.
Knowledge Graph As A Service
👈 Information ecosystem that the KIP platform aims to connect, showing data flow and network actors to technologies and end user interfaces and opportunities. We can do this today.
KIP means to bring civic participation media/generative content to strategic partners, like schools and organizations.
Our news and information landscape has changed. Our map makers have changed.
This is a playing board we can all use to parse and process news and current events, with KIP’s core value unit being a digital playing card. A bit of news currency. A bit of information that deep receipts can be attached to.
The KIP platform helps people find better information and make sense of this moment, with a pathway to renewed credibility and civic engagement for all.
I believe when it comes to news and current events, in order for us to act collectively in our best interests we need to get on the same page … and the same playing board.
““As much as we want to hold institutions accountable, citizens are constantly left to their own devices. Thinking holistically and user-centred is a necessary step for us all.””
CASSANDRA AWARDS to recognize our sense makers
Besides the framework, the value of KIP is the people. These are the ones who emerged for me as I used this framework. Who will emerge for you when you use it? What are they trying to get the word out about?
I nominate the below voices describing for me the big picture of this moment, for the first Cassandra Awards to recognize sense makers among us in this information war. Listen to a 5 minute narration of the bigger picture here.
Who would you nominate?
