James Felton Keith Biography

James Felton Keith, is an award winning Engineer & Economist turned Labor Leader who was the first Black LGBTQ person to run for Federal Office in America, via US Congress in 2017. He is CEO at the InclusionScore Companies and currently lectures on Inclusion at the University of Georgia's Terry College of Business. As an entrepreneur, he established the first international diversity & inclusion certification based on the ISO-30415:2021 standard and effectively reshaped commercial insurance to incentivize inclusion via a standardized "inclusion score".

Via the Keith Institute, Keith has authored and edited multiple books including, "Inclusionism", his bio-political philosophy which is at the forefront of "International Relations and Diplomacy". As an organizer, his Data Unions redefined the labor movement and people’s personal-data as the natural-resource driving all corporate productivity. He co-founded and edits the Ethics of Personal Data Collection series at Anthem Press. He and his institutions have either written or consulted on all of the Western World’s seminal cyber policy during the 2010s including Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

He has founded multiple companies across the Non-Profit & Tech sectors. Most notably: InclusionScore, Harlem Center, Slay TV, Accrue.com, and multiple LGBT Chambers. His expertise is in the ethnography of technology, or the study of the culture of tech. Over the past 20 years between 5 continents, he has been obsessing about economic inclusion, and how to get equity in the hands of the people who have increasingly less, while the world becomes more productive from their data’s input.

Working between government and business he regularly says “it’s necessary to have the mind of a CEO and the heart of a Social Worker to solve real people's problems”. His career transitioned to public life after starting Detroit’s LGBT Chamber of Commerce and "Pride Nights" at all four Big Box American sports franchises: NBA, NHL, MLB, & NFL. Keith has been appointed to the cabinet of Elected Officials, taken over for and advised CEOs, Academics, Diplomats, and Non-profiteers. Keith is an elected member of the New York Democratic Committee and is a frequent keynote at global venues like the United Nations, Future Tech Congress, Data Protection World Forum, and the World Pride Human Rights Forum to name a few.

James Felton Keith Speaking Topics

  • What is the ISO-30415 Standard for Diversity & Inclusion?

    If you ask ten professionals what Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (D&I) means, you may receive ten different answers.

    • Learn to deploy D&I as a service across your business, not a series of diversity quotas
    • Learn about the associated financial risks and bottom line of people management
    • Learn the latest economic trends accelerating DEI and ESG initiatives globally.

    Diversity & Inclusion Service Management: is a framework that is being deployed by the insurance industry onto every other industry to vet organization's maturity at defusing costly people management issues across their Governance, Human Resources, Product Delivery, and Supplier Diversity.

  • Ethics of Personal Data Collection: Inclusionism in the time of COVID-19

    This volume’s relevance may be explained, first and foremost, during a time of unprecedented loss of life around the world each day. The data, which is oftentimes incomplete and misleading, nonetheless reveals the state as deficient as well as negligent in its response to social healthcare needs. This volume attests to the fact that pressing global public health concerns are ever present as subjects of societal discourse and debate in developed and developing states. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic makes the omission of the ethics of personal data collection analysis in the international relations literature even more salient given the rise of contact tracing and increased uses of mobile phone Apps to track citizens by states and firms across the globe, as this volume’s chapters analyzing the responses to COVID-19 in Iran and Taiwan explain.

  • Personal Data Collection Risks in a Post-Vaccine World

    The literature that references personal data collection risks is growing amidst international scandals, notably the Cambridge Analytica/Facebook interference in the Brexit referendum and 2016 US Presidential election as well as other elections in countries throughout our world. Questions of fundamental importance to the study and practice of international relations are being asked as concerns are expressed, including the most pressing that speak to accountability, the ethics of use in local areas, and the impact on the vulnerable populations that information and communications technologies (ICTs) promise to serve. Yet, the editors observe that in key texts written to teach international relations, less mention is made of personal data collection risks in countries around the globe. This book addresses this significant omission in the literature. The editors and contributors to this volume consider the limitations of existing theories in international relations to address the present context, as personal data collection risks become more significant in a COVID-19 world.
