TV & Film:Film Reviews
Octavia Butler is a staple of science fiction and Afrofuturism. Octavia looked to highlight the horrors of our present world’s oppressive systems. She tackled slavery, white supremacy, capitalism, climate change, fascism, religious fundamentalism, and more. She has been called the mother of Afrofuturism and has inspired many Black science fiction writers today. Kat talks about her history and how she became the writer we appreciate today. Gabe talks about her individual works and overall themes in her writing.
Love and appreciate Octavia Butler with us!
