I watched (and loved) the first 2 seasons of #Silo and I just finished reading the book for what will become season 3, which is a prequel arc— And it was such a vivid reading experience because I had this whole visual context in my mind of the world being described and explored. Wow

I feel fortunate to know that I lived in Nikki’s time. That I once shared time and space with her— listened to her tell stories, jokes and poems. In a room of Black people, who all as children crowded around this great mother.
She fed us. She taught us. She’s teaching us still.
