Episode Video Link:
In this powerful episode of A Black Executive Perspective, host Tony Tidbit sits down with Erin Reddick, trailblazing founder of ChatBlackGPT, to unpack the urgent need for equity, culture, and community in today’s AI revolution. Erin takes us on a deep personal journey—from Michigan roots to Seattle’s tech corridors—where she faced industry layoffs, coded bias, and the kind of exclusion too many Black professionals know too well. But instead of waiting for inclusion, she created it. This episode explores why AI built without cultural context is not only incomplete, but also dangerous. Erin shares how she’s building culturally grounded AI that centers Black voices, stories, and values—and why visibility in tech isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. From systemic barriers to bold solutions, this conversation challenges what tech can be when it’s created for us, by us. Tune in for a story of resilience, innovation, and a vision for a future where we are not just users, but architects.
