ABC & Re:wild are proud to announce the inaugural Afrofuturism Collective!
The Collective’s nine members will independently and collectively examine how stories, lifeways, technologies, and concepts from the African diaspora might influence biodiversity conservation and habitat stewardship. 🐦

So honored to be a part of the #afrofuturism collective with these incredible folks. Getting to weave fiction with my love of nature and community is truly a dream realized.

If I do nothing else in this life, I will write stories about how my people connect to nature. I will gather with our plant, animal, and elemental cousins as often as I can. I will uplift all of our names. We are children of the Earth, and we will never be destroyed. grist.org/language/nat...
The words we use to talk about nature are disappearing. Here’s why that matters.
We’ll need to do more than ‘touch grass’ to revive them.

Come by my panels tomorrow! Get some fantastic historical inspiration for your fiction! Ask me easy questions like “what is your name” and “list some colors you like” and “wow, you’re so nice and delightful, are you sure this is your first time paneling?”
Posting my Worldcon schedule so I can pin it to my profile! I have been typecast as a history nerd. If you're also a history nerd, consider coming to these panels! If not, come find me elsewhere and say hi! I'm so excited for my first con and the chance to meet people! (Let me know if you're going!)
