It was great to participate in these panels at the first ever UmojaCon at XXI Umoja Conference. We had transformative conversations.

Afrofuturism is a path to a better tomorrow. I’m excited to be part of the first-ever UmojaCon in San Jose, CA! This moment is about more than creativity—it’s about community. Please join us if you can.

One of the great pleasure of having Jaime Hernandez on campus is hearing and seeing his pleasure at our engagement with comics across the curriculum. #comics #msuenglish @cssorg.bsky.social @msumuseum.bsky.social

One highlight of Jaime Hernandez’s visit to Michigan State University was his visit to MSU Libraries Comics Art Collection. Our collection is the largest publicly accessible repository of comic books in the world.

I really appreciated the discussion in "A Decade of Black Erasure: Social Media since 2015" organized by @WalterdGreason. This was a lively discourse that highlighted the need for a space like ASALH to support #digital humanities and generative A.I. discussion

One highlight of #ASAHL25 was having Tim Fielder do a live action drawing during my talk. My thanks to @walterdgreason.bsky.social for his effort putting together such as dynamic series of panels.

If you did not get a chance to visit “Techno: The Rise of Detroit’s Machine Music” this podcast is a great way to understand why I think Techno is an#Afrofuturist sound that changed the world.
Thanks to everyone who visited "Techno: The Rise of Detroit’s Machine Music" and joined us for programs! While the exhibition has concluded, the conversation continues with RISE: Detroit’s Machine Music, a podcast inspired by the exhibition, available now wherever you listen. bit.ly/RISE-podcast
