Excellent choice of others to discuss. I have learned a lot by reading Afro-American writers vision of the future. I would like to hear about additional suggested titles. Are there other visions of a better future that you can recommend?

Black Science Fiction

I was happy to see the subject matter on this talk. I'm not big on reading Sci-Fi. I avoid it. But I have read "Octavia's Brood: Science Fiction Stories from Social Justice Movements ". I just knew you would discuss it. The title alone made its discussion a sure thing. But no such luck. I was very disappointed - but I know 'you can't please all the people all the time'.

I want to spotlight this book because I am familiar with the work by one of its authors, Walidah Imarish. She is a brilliant, writer an active warrior in the fight for social justice, and a phenomenal teacher, Her Sci-Fi is captivating and she seems to be overlooked by Audible. I strongly suggest you explore her works. As a matter of fact, Ms. Imarish would be a perfect addition to your panel. Just a thought.

I didn’t write this to be posted. I just want to share my thoughts with you. I appreciate you reading them. Thank you

You started off great!
