I am not an optimist by nature. Never have been.
This is why I need afro-futurism; to remind myself that there are black people in the future.
I need afro-futurism so I can imagine what Mike Brown would be doing with his life had he not been murdered. He should have turned 22 this year.
I need afro-futurism so I can see how other Black people think about what the world could be like.
I need afro-futurism so I can picture possibilities for this world.
I need afro-futurism so I can remember that there is meaning in the struggle.
I need afro-futurism so I can be me.
