As its founder and CEO, Brandeis is a data equity strategist who has advised and educated thousands in public and corporate sectors. Her work focuses on exposing and mitigating the harmful impact of data practices on technology and society.
Before founding her data education and ethics company, she thought she’d be a college professor or administrator for the rest of her career. The cascading multigenerational influence of algorithms made engaging the current workforce in data eduction more urgent than educating the next generation. Data is fueling the algorithms that’s making the tech and that tech is perpetuating harm to Black women and other minoritized groups. Her book, Data Conscience: Algorithmic Siege on our Humanity Wiley Publishing September 2022, is written for rebel tech talent who acknowledge and are prepared to address the current limitations of the data life cycle and software development.
