“How Long Till Black Futures Month:

Honoring Black History, Cultivating Black Futures“

Just Talk/Talk Just– Webinar Series

Mark You Calendars and Save the Date!!

February 9th, 2021 at 7 pm/ET

What do you get when you put Afrofuturism, Social Activism, and Black History together…you get a panel on “How Long Till Black Futures Month: Honoring Black History, Cultivating Black Futures” as part of the Just Talk/Talk Just series! This series is hosted by Union Presbyterian Seminary and co-sponsored by The Center for Social Justice and Reconciliation & The Katie Geneva Cannon Center for Womanist Leadership.

Now for folks that know me, they know I love geeking out about Black Futures and even more about its relationship with Black History (hence the name of this site ‘Black Future Feminist’). So it is without question that I am very excited to virtually sit with some forward thinking minds and participate in this soul-stirring, out of this world panel!!

You can stream and get more information about the event here!!

And remember although February is the month (here in the US) that we formally celebrate Black History (major thanks to Carter G. Woodson) just know that Black History is 365 day effort!!
