About Me
Danielle A. (Davis) Canty, Esq. has spent nearly a decade working across law, civil rights, and public policy to examine how technology shapes opportunity, visibility, access, and everyday life. Her work is grounded in the understanding that artificial intelligence, social media, and digital infrastructure are shaped by the histories, inequities, and human choices that came before them.
Danielle brings this perspective to her research, writing, speaking, and media, connecting today’s technology debates to the histories and policy choices that continue to influence who benefits from technological change.
MY PODCAST
The Miseducation of Technology
The Miseducation of Technology® explores the digital age through the lens of Black culture. Drawing inspiration from Carter G. Woodson’s The Mis-Education of the Negro and Lauryn Hill’s The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, it challenges dominant narratives and examines how digital tools reflect the same systemic biases that have shaped society for generations and continue to influence opportunity, access, and everyday life.
Each episode breaks down topics including broadband access and affordability, social media regulation, platform accountability, privacy, and artificial intelligence—including its growing role in faith communities and spiritual formation. Through cultural critique and accessible explanations, Attorney Danielle helps listeners recognize potential harms, understand the forces behind the technologies they use, and learn how those tools can better serve them and their communities.
