Firedance: How Octavia and Ray survived
Hello from Steve! Tananarive and I are floored by the attendance for yesterday’s free webinar on “How Sci Fi and Afrofuturism Can Help Us Survive in 2025.” Nearly 200 people attended, and several stayed until the very end. :) We discussed how SF and Afrofuturism can save health, heart, and hope, with specific examples from Octavia Butler and Ray Bradbury. Masters both.
