Episode 92: Pathways to Digital Citizenship with Ronda Železný-Green

Greetings Glocal Citizens!
My guest this week has travelled to more than 60 countries and worked on five continents. Currently based in southern Spain, Dr. Ronda Železný-Green is a digital changemaker creating social learning systems to empower Black people, women, people with disabilities, and other marginalized populations in the technology and education sectors. Serving as a mobile technologist, trainer, and researcher, Ronda’s 16+ years of professional experience spans five continents and the public, private, and civil society sectors. A Black and Native American cis woman excelling with ADHD, Ronda also has extensive experience delivering action-oriented training that integrates the themes of racial equity and justice and gender with global perspectives. Hallmarks of her career include learning/educating with tech; championing, coaching, and mentoring women in tech; and empowering people to use technology as transformative tools to live their best lives. She is currently the Global Head of Training and eLearning at the Internet Society (https://www.internetsociety.org/) where she is leading the end-to-end rebuild and relaunch of our training programs, including the digital transformation of existing training activities due to COVID-19. She also serves in advisory and director roles at the Digital Impact Alliance (DIAL) (https://digitalimpactalliance.org/) at the United Nations Foundation, InnovateHer (https://innovateher.co.uk/) - where she is the board chair, and Noise Solution (https://www.noisesolution.org/s/). At the same time she's a tech-prenuer as co-founder and director of Panoply Digital Ltd is a socially conscious organization using their expertise in ICT, education, and gender to create solutions to development challenges. Ronda is a whirlwind of digital dynamism!
