Posted on by drblackfuturefeminist

Mark Your Calendars BFF Family and Friends!! I wanted to make sure I shared this upcoming event with you that will be taking place next week! I will be giving a guest lecture/conversation to one of my good friend and colleague Dr. Julian Chambliss’ Afrofuturism course spotlighting Janelle Monáe.

During this lecture/conversation, I will discuss Monáe’s role and impact, as a musician and artist, within the framework of Afrofuturism. This event is part of IAH 207: Afrofantastic: Race, Power, and Gender in the Black Imaginary at Michigan State University.

On this past Saturday afternoon, I had the opportunity to participate in some real life “Black Girl Magic”!! As part of the “Black Feminist Future Series” put on by the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, myself and four other AMAZING Black Afrofuturist women (Susana Morris , Tiffany E. Barber, Esther L. Jones, and Kinitra D. Brooks [moderator]) took part in a very fulfilling conversation about Black women and theories of the future!!

Nothing like sharing the “virtual” stage with a group of brilliant minds such as these Black women!! My mind, body, and soul were overflowing with Black joy and hope!!
