In this season finale of Teach The Babies, Dr. David J. Johns welcomes power couple Michelle Molitor and Caroline Hill for a profound conversation about the revolutionary potential of community. These visionary educators and equity champions share their journey from meeting in a principal training program to becoming partners in both purpose and love. Together, they explore how to "flatten hierarchies without flattening people" and remind us that in times of political uncertainty, our collective power remains undiminished.This capstone conversation weaves together the season's central themes: the courage to dream in Afrofuturistic colors, the necessity of equitable education, and the radical potential of loving community. Listeners will leave inspired by their practical strategies for "seeding disruption" and creating environments where everyone is seen as enough because they exist. Join us for this inspiring finale as we close Season 2 and look ahead to new explorations in Season 3. As Caroline reminds us, "We cannot take our humanity for granted" - a fitting conclusion to a season dedicated to defending democracy and expanding equity through education.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/teach-the-babies-w-dr-david-j-johns--6173854/support.

What began as a living archive of queer Black British experience in the early 2000s has morphed into visual memoir for the interdisciplinary artist Topher Campbell.Told through three of his arthouse films including the uncompromising Fetish (2018) where he walks the streets of New York completely naked, an Afrofuturistic sculpture and intimate sound work composed of missed WhatsApp messages, Campbell isn't afraid to take risks.His installation at the Tate Modern, My rukus! Heart (2024) is both radical history of queer blackness and an ode to his community, as well as the formative collaboration with rukus! Federation co-founder, photographer Ajamu X.
There is something powerful about educators who are committed to introducing children to the genius in them. Dr. Chris Emdin is a genius personified, and this intellectual cipher between two intellectual powerhouses who love Black people, teach the babies, and defend democracy is anchored by the freedom to dream and the importance of having safe and supportive spaces to nurture our dreams.Dr. Emdin earned his PhD in urban education with a concentration in Mathematics, Science, and Technology to birth the #HipHopEd social media movement, wrote books for “White For White Folks Who Teach In the Hood, and the Rest of Yall, too,” (yup, that's the book title, get into it), and helps all of us get closer to freedom, faster.As Dr. Emdin says, “Science is the ultimate, hybridized knowledge,” and he breaks down why. This conversation between colleagues and friends celebrates the best part of Afro-Futuristic dreaming and system design, the trappings of white supremacy in public schools and policy-making, and the critical role that words and affirmation play in surviving white supremacy.Emdin, Christopher.

This episode also features the story of Barbara Johns–no relation–the 16-year-old high school student who organized a student-led protest when her teachers dismissed her concerns about poor facilities and shabby equipment.
In this twelfth episode, host Emily Harwitz takes a closer look at the fuel that drives conservation. Funding, of course, is essential, and two of the main sources of conservation funding are government agencies and philanthropy. Today's guests—Ben Friedman and Geenah Leslie—are experts in those areas, from the state and federal levels to the local level. They're also experts at cultivating relationships, because that's the real foundation of this work: building relationships based on shared values and a commitment to making the world a better place, for all of us. From what's in the upcoming Proposition 4 Climate Bond to the many benefits our urban trees provide, we hope this final episode of Season 4 gives you lots to be hopeful for. Ben Friedman is the government affairs and public grants officer of Save the Redwoods League. Prior to the League, Ben led grantmaking in California for Western Conservation Foundation. He also has worked at the Wilderness Society and on Capitol Hill on the House Committee for Natural Resources. Ben's education background is in geology and environmental management. In his spare time, Ben likes going to the beach with his wife Lauren and his dog Lobo, and baking seasonal pies. Geenah-Marie Leslie (she/her) was born and raised in the ancestral lands of the Tongva People, presently known as Los Angeles. As the proud child of Jamaican immigrants, she was brought up to believe that she should never allow her gender or the color of her skin deter her from pursuing her wildest dreams. Her passion for the healing benefits of nature and connecting People of Color to the outdoors led to her working in the environmental justice field. In her professional tenure, she has played a crucial role in donor relations, fund development, and piloting successful community engagement initiatives. Her free time is typically spent by large bodies of water, listening to an Afrofuturistic audiobook, or psp-psp-psping a cat on the street. Find her on Instagram @geenah_leslie or on LinkedIn
Incoming transmission. On this episode of our weekly podcast, singer/songwriter Leyla McCalla joins us to discuss the new sonic terrain of her latest album, Sun Without The Heat. Though her earlier work with groups like the Carolina Chocolate Drops and on her own was often classified as Americana, this album finds her shifting into a blurrier, more dynamic zone, where Afrobeat, Tropicalismo, post-rock, and sleek funk all share space. Inspired by Afrofuturistic ecological writings, the natural world, and her own experiences, it's a record that showcases an artist stepping into a new position, that of an interpreter of alternate sonic histories, an art-pop imagineer casting brand new shapes.

LA PETITE MORT: SISTA ZAI ZANDA IS GOING TO DIEEvery second week on MHIGTD we explore a conversation about mortality and survival with human beings who have skin in the game.

Sista Zai was born in Harare, Zimbabwe and raised in a large extended family.

In this edition of AI, we are joined by attorney, poet, and author, Professor Derrick Howard. We have the privilege of discussing Derrick's new book, Omnis: Last of Earth. It was a wonderful conversation about the book that led deeper into discussion about human history, society, culture, philosophy, and of course, the weird. If you love Science Fiction, Futuristic Dystopian, kung-fu, action, thriller, with all kinds of twists and turns, this is the book for you. An informative blurb and where you can buy the book will be listed below. Y'all will not regret purchasing this book, diving into it, and having it on your shelves to revisit anytime. "On Intergalactic Independence Day Earth 2050, Sledge, a reluctant, blind hero, is dragged, kicking, and screaming into a gallant struggle for survival just like you. With only a walking stick and grit as aid, he finds himself in a dystopic universe pitted against celestial beings exploiting the confluence of apex AI, cancer cultures, perpetual acts of genocide, and humankind's irrepressible self-indulgence to exterminate humans for past misdeeds and future crimes. Like you, fate demands Sledge concede if freedom is best achieved by accepting the destiny he shares with all other humans or by continuing to evade it with precious little in hand. This epic, action-packed, Afrofuturistic, sci-fi novel, Omnis: Last Man of Earth, sets forth Sledge's journey as he tangles with celestials, transhumans, aliens, drones, and sentients while beings throughout the universe gather around holoprojectors to wager on Earth's destruction. Will you be a spectator in your self-destruction or a participant in your survival? Read on ... The clock is ticking. Tick, tick, tick ...!

BUTLER :https://www.octaviabutler.com/theauthorAt the time of her death, interest in her books was beginning to rise, and in recent years, sales of her books have increased enormously as the issues she addressed in her Afro-Futuristic, feminist novels and short fiction have only become more relevant.About the Book: Fledgling is the story of an apparently young girl with amnesia whose alarmingly inhuman needs and abilities lead her to a startling conclusion: (spoiler add air horn) She is in fact a genetically modified, 53-year-old vampire. Forced to discover what she can about her stolen former life, she must at the same time learn who wanted—and still wants—to destroy her and those she cares for, and how she can save herself. Fledgling is a captivating novel that tests the limits of “otherness” and questions what it means to be truly human. https://www.octaviabutler.com/About our guest: Dyke Michaels is an Indianapolis based Comedian and Podcaster.

In this episode, I talk to EbonyJanice Moore about self-expression that is not restricted by any external conditioning or fear. We discuss self-love that goes beyond trauma healing and that positively effects how we show up in the world. We also talked about how the belief in a higher power can help us heed the call of our instincts and how to use those instincts to make better choices. If we have a lot of conviction and we want to use that to create change, how to go about it with compassion so we don't harm others and the most fun part of the conversation was about who, out of all the historical figures, would EbonyJanice want to talk to when facing a challenging situation. This conversation can help you live a more intentional life, go down paths that you desire and that are truly meant for you. I especially enjoyed the version of faith and worship that EbonyJanice has shared because it's something that even the non-believers can find comfort in. EbonyJanice is the founder and CEO of The Free People Project and The EbonyJanice Project. She earned her Bachelors in Cultural Anthropology and Political Science and a Masters of Arts in Social Change with a concentration in Spiritual Leadership, Womanist Theology, and Racial Justice. The core and center of her work is the professional and personal liberation of Black Women and Femmes. EbonyJanice has authored several books, including “Sacred Text for Black Folks Soul: A Book You Should Leave On Your Altar.” She has another book coming out on July 11th titled, All the Black Girls Are Activists. You may know her from numerous guest appearances on Podcasts, Youtube channels, and Instagram Lives, where she talks about Decolonizing Authority, Racial Justice, Black Women's Body Ownership, and Womanist Theology. As the founder of the spiritual mentorship project entitled “Dream Yourself Free,” her message encourages the participants to understand that living a healed, wholly easeful, and pleasurable life is the actual resistance work and activism. She is the visionary and creator of Black Girl Mixtape, a platform and safe think space that elevates the intellectual authority of Black Women. The women of Black Girl Mixtape are currently co-creating an Afro-Futuristic theatrical production and re telling of the story of Igbo Landing entitled “The People Could Fly.” Shownotes - 00:01:20: Guest Introduction 00:03:10: Ebonyjanice's mission and the impact she wants to create in the world 00:04:55: The definition of true freedom 00:06:10: Healing and free emotional expression 00:12:00: Creating a relationship with younger and future self 00:17:00: Learning to trust our gut and using our instincts to make major decisions 00:29:55: Journey of faith and how it helps us revel in FREE emotional expression 00:36:10: Self-love as a form of worship 00:40:15: Creating change in the world and dealing with the fear 00:48:00: Exercising conviction with compassion 00:57: 45: What happens when we stop creating from a place of resistance? 01:06:50: The one historical figure that EbonyJanice wants to talk to Transcript - https://www.kratimehra.com/ebonyjanice-moore-transcending-resistance-expression-faith/ Connect with EbonyJanice Moore - Website: https://www.ebonyjanice.com/ All the black girls are activists: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/All-the-Black-Girls-Are-Activists/EbonyJanice-Moore/9781955905466 Follow EbonyJanice on- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ebonyjanice/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheFreePeopleProject/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ebonyjanicepeace/ For more, visit - https://www.kratimehra.com/experible/ Subscribe to the weekly newsletter to go deeper with the content and more 1-1 interactions - https://www.kratimehra.com/newsletter/ Subscribe to my YouTube Chanel and get access to more solo and interview conversations - https://www.youtube.com/@kratimehra/ Follow me on Instagram - https://www.kratimehra.com/mehra_krati/

In October 2022, I held my first solo summit, The Soul of Business Summit and rebranded it to Ancestrally Rooted Business Summit. When I sat down to create my summit, The Hungry Medium was a dream guest in her grounded, sassy and wise magic- and I am so grateful she said YES!. She dives deep on how she grew through Christianity into her African traditions. I am beyond honored to share this powerful conversation with Kat Niambi, the Hungry Medium. Tune in to hear the ancestral patterns she transformed and the ones she leaned into to awaken and reclaim her magic and medicine. Kat shares her ancestral journey that brought her to her current work and path. How disbelief in the form of life in the church shaped her current spiritual path. How ancestors who didn't agree in life may support you in bigger ways when on the other side. Kat shares the white table misa messages she received from trusted spiritualists that kept asking, “ why aren't you doing this for people?” Kat shares how her challenges are viewed as a series of events that had to occur so Kat could be who she is now. She goes deeply into the question, “Is it Spirit or is it God?” Christianity as a tool of the colonizer to strip Africans from their faith and identity as a historical fact. Explains why Christianity and Black Nationalism don't align. Why Kat calls herself a spiritual activist in her work and how grateful she is to be awake. Her journey on social media during Covid and post-pandemic and trusting Spirit with your marketing. What is the metaverse? The journey from the old days when spiritualists didn't even read on the phone. Saying yes to opportunities that are in alignment can be stepping stones for more connection, relationships and expansion. IG: https://www.instagram.com/thehungrymedium Website: https://www.thehungrymedium.com Bio Kat Niambi, aka The Hungry Medium's practice is rooted in an African spiritual tradition for which she is grateful. Without this tradition, she wouldn't be where she is right now. For many, the “gift” of hearing Spirit doesn't present itself in a way that's easily recognizable. “I was either lucky or my soul has been around the block a few times and has navigated this mind-body iteration (aka me) to where I am today; a clairsentient spiritualist who's able to make connections between spirit and the physical world.” She likes to think of herself as a “spiritual activist”; using her mediumship to help others find direction, clarity and focus in their lives. The goal is to help YOU help yourself. By tapping into your own power to problem solve and to work towards achieving actionable goals, you'll feel more empowered to design a life shaped by you and endorsed by the Soul.
What does it mean to create futuristic costumes from the past? Oscar-winning costume designer Ruth E.

In “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” she takes this theory to another imagined world that draws on Mesoamerican history. In this episode, Carter breaks down the creative process behind her unique approach to costume design. Ruth E. Carter has been nominated for Best Costume Design at the 95th Academy Awards for her work on “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” Watch and listen to more from American Masters.
In The Dreamer and the Dream: Afrofuturism and Black Religious Thought (Ohio State UP, 2021), Professor Roger Sneed illuminates the interplay of Black religious thought with science fiction narratives to present a bold case for Afrofuturism as an important channel for Black spirituality. In the process, he challenges the assumed primacy of the Black church as the arbiter of Black religious life. Incorporating analyses of Octavia Butler's Parable books, Janelle Monáe's Afrofuturistic saga, Star Trek's Captain Benjamin Sisko, Marvel's Black Panther, and the philosophies of Sun Ra and the Nation of Islam, Sneed demonstrates how Afrofuturism has contributed to Black visions of the future. He also investigates how Afrofuturism has influenced religious scholarship that looks to Black cultural production as a means of reimagining Blackness in the light of the sacred. The result is an expansive new look at the power of science fiction and Afrofuturism to center the diversity of Black spirituality. Roger A. Sneed is Professor and Chair of Religion at Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina. His work involves the intersections of African American religious thought and culture, Christian thought and gay male sexualities, and religious ethics. He is a contributor for Huffington Post and has previously published the book Representations of Homosexuality: Black Liberation Theology and Cultural Criticism (Palgrave Macmillan, 2010).

Ukhoikhoi - “Abathembu” from the 2022 Nongqawuse EP on Next Movement More than just a musical duo, uKhoiKhoi call themselves a "a live looping, musical performance art showpiece." Hailing from Johannesburg, South Africa, the group is comprised of musician/composer Yogin Sullaphen and vocalist Anelisa Stuurman. Their band name pays tribute to their shared KhoiSan heritage, an indigenous tribe said to be the first inhabitants of southern Africa. By combining operatic elements with chanting and poetry, they create a unique Afro-Futuristic sound they call "indigenous-electro."

The pieces look right at home in the Afrofuturistic world of the blockbuster film.
Join Valentine and Atlanta, Georgia based, Leslie Anne as they dig into the behind the scenes. Leslie shares about the benefits of staying open and seeking collaboration with other visual and performing artists, and trusting what feels good. Her intuition leading her into claiming her unique space as she creates her art world.Leslie Anne is a self-taught contemporary artist based in Atlanta, Georgia by way of East St. Louis, Illinois. Leslie describe's her work as emotionally expressive, colorful, conceptual, and Afrofuturistic. Her art is inspired by prominent themes in her own life, like motherhood, race, relationships, gender, and personal expression. She uses bold contrasting elements to create interesting mixed media works; usually featuring bold colors, glitter, and visions of the sky like clouds and stars. By looking at the art, her hope is that you will find a sense of interconnectedness with all. And ultimately explore more of yourself. Making art is like opening a portal and letting pure creation manifest. I am intentional about centering Black people and women in my pieces as a way to celebrate our culture and beauty with nuance. I want to show Black subjects as inherently valuable and worthy of being admired, which is often why my work incorporates crowns and gold elements. My art is as much about the process as it is the physical piece, as creating art opens the space for me to explore myself. I create self portraits as a way to honor my feelings and memorialize that specific time in my life. I'm inspired by the beauty and personal expression of Black people. My references are often individuals from my own life or intriguing images of Black subjects that inspire me in some way. My intention is to give the subject honor, express emotion, and showcase their humanity. In addition to painting, I create collage style digital artwork, incorporating photography, color, glitter, and lots of layers. @myleslieanne@bellavalentinaart@artconnectwomen@artconnectsocietySupport the show

Ekow Nimako is a Toronto-based, internationally exhibiting LEGO artist who crafts futuristic and whimsical sculptures from the iconic medium. Rooted in his childhood hobby and intrinsic creativity, Nimako's formal arts education and background as a lifelong multidisciplinary artist inform his process and signature aesthetic. His fluid building style, coupled with the Afrofuturistic themes of his work, beautifully transcend the geometric medium to embody organic and fantastical silhouettes. His large scale public installations include the monumental Cavalier Noir (Nuit Blanche, 2018) which features a seven-foot Black rider atop a dauntless Black unicorn. Conceptualized in collaboration with Director X, the piece subverts the dominant imagination of public monuments and centres Black narratives. Nimako's installation To Feed the Village, the Young Must Grow debuted at Berlin's Urban Contemporary Art Biennale (Urban Nation Museum for Urban Contemporary Art, 2019) alongside other internationally renowned visual artists. The touring group show Brick by Brick features several works from his Building Black Mythos series and opened in 2019 (20-21 Visual Arts Centre, UK, 2019). Nimako's medieval Africa inspired series Building Black Civilizations opened in 2019 at the Aga Khan Museum. The architectural and imaginative pieces explore the untold narrative of sub-Saharan Africa during the middle ages, with detailed references to architecture, Islamic civilizations and Afrofuturism. The anticipated sequel to this exhibition, Building Black:Civilizations II, premieres at Dunlop gallery in Regina in the fall of 2022. Nimako's latest body of work Building Black AMORPHIA presents artworks that thread together elements of West African mask making traditions, fauna and organic forms to create an amorphous and fantastical tapestry. This wall-mounted series displayed at the Harbourfront Centre in Toronto from January to June 2020. Exhibition plans for AMORPHIA II opening in London are currently underway. Nimako's work has been featured in media outlets and publications such as NOW Magazine, CBC, CBC Radio, Global News, TorontoLife, VICE, Toronto Star, BlogTO, Hyperallergic and the Globe and Mail. He is a published author of Beasts from Bricks (Quarry Books, 2017) an instructional LEGO book featuring miniature sculptures of rare and beautiful animals with an elevated aesthetic. Key Takeaways 1. Talent and passion can sprout from a young age - Ekow always wanted to create for as long as he could remember, exploring creative avenues like drawing, music, and sculpture throughout his life. As a young child, he wasn't even aware of the term “artist” but those around him recognized his talents and informed him of what he was. 2. Think outside the box - Ekow wanted to dedicate his time to art that was specifically for Black people so he turned to sculpting with LEGO and became a LEGO artist. From a LEGO box, not many people would think of creating the type of LEGO sculptures Ekow creates. With his artistic vision, he and his team pour in 100 to 1000 hours making entrancing sculptures from black LEGO pieces. 3. Recognition comes gradually - 2014 is the year that Ekow cites as the year his career started to take off. He received a grant which allowed him to create without the constraint of cost. Throughout the years, Ekow has been growing his Instagram page and working hard. His work has gained recognition both in Canada and internationally. In addition, Ekow just recently secured a formal deal with the LEGO Group! 4. Advice for aspiring artists - Get accustomed to solitude, as being an artist is time consuming. The majority of your time is going to be spent alone with your art. Be realistic- think about whether you want to pursue art full-time or go after another route while keeping art as your main passion. Consider the fact that you might need to balance the time spent on art and the time spent on other activities to ensure you have enough to get by. Be aware about art production and your desired artistic journey. Know what art you want to create and the medium it uses. Certain mediums allow for faster art production which could bring more short-term success. On the other hand, carving out your niche could bring more long-term success. 5. Tradeoffs can pay off in the end - For many years, Ekow worked a job he didn't enjoy, listened to his boss and dealt with racism in the workplace to make enough money to survive. He spent time and energy on his job that could have been put into his art. However, the money he earned allowed him to continue pursuing his true calling on the side. This tradeoff was made until it was no longer necessary and Ekow finally had the freedom to live off his work, dedicating everything he had to his creations. The freedom that comes with Ekow's position as a renowned artist is what he is most grateful for today.

"I am a digital artist who currently lives and works in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Africa. In my artwork, traditional elements are brought to life with contrasting and harmonious compositions of futuristic technology. I would say my distinctive personal style has an Afrofuturistic theme that emanates joy and peace, a way that most of Africa is currently not depicted. Even though I have a BFA from Alle School of Fine Arts in Industrial Design and Fine Art, I consider myself a self-taught artist. I have been creating digital artwork for five years now, honing my theme and skills throughout the years. My vision is to re-awaken and inspire other African artists so that we get to tell our stories in our own way." - Fanuel Leul --- For complete show notes, and to support authors and independent booksellers, please visit SKY IS BLACK.

Now, I think what's tended to happen over the years is that the ruling class has essentially taken over how we see these plays… We hope that we can move people, and we hope that these are the kind of plays that ignite discourse.

From July 5th to 29th they bring an Afrofuturistic take on Twelfth Night to Marcus Garvey Park.NAACP and OBIE Award Winner, Ty Jones is Producing Artistic Director responsible for creating the Uptown Shakespeare in the Park series and other community initiatives.Allen Gilmore has played Othello, Iago, and created the role of James Hewlett in The African Company presents Richard The Third at the Public Theater. He makes his CTH debut in Twelfth Night.“I am a person that my taste, my aesthetic is to always put music and dance in a theatrical production. That's just what I like to do. And in terms of this play Twelfth Night, the spark that creates the whole flame is that very line, "If music be the food of love, play on." And music is threaded throughout this entire play. I think that every human being, regardless of your taste, connects to music in some way, and that connection to music - again, how we are far more alike than we are different - that's what's so beautiful about this play. And that's what I love about music.During the summer, we invite Young People's Chorus of NYC, Chamber Music Center of NYC, Jazz Mobile, Harlem Opera, Harlem Chamber Players to do pre-shows. It's one of these things where I think it's important that multiple cultural organizations have to know that we're all essentially singing from the same sheet of music and being of support to one another.”www.cthnyc.orgwww.cthnyc.org/dt_team/ty-jones-producing-artistic-director-cth-actorwww.cthnyc.org/twelfth-nightwww.allengilmore.comTwelfth Night photo credit: Richard Terminewww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.org

In this episode of The Working Artist Project, Darrian Douglas and Gregory Agid talk to artist-cum-activist Gerald Watkins Candice Hoyes about new music and her unique career path. Candice Hoyes is poised to “shape the artist-cum-activist role." (NPR) In 2020, she released “Zora's Moon,” the first single of her mostly self-penned upcoming EP. This jaunty retro-soul escapade is her response to this moment: an ode to Black girlhood. Candice brings otherworldly vocalism to her new single, "Waiting for the World (Tired)," which features the 1930 poem "Tired" by Harlem Renaissance poet Langston Hughes set in a lyrical Afro Futuristic soundscape. Candice is a 2020 winner of the inaugural NYC Women's Fund for Film, Music, and Media. She has performed with, opened for, and recorded with artists ranging from Lin Manuel Miranda to Chaka Khan to Wynton Marsalis. Candice was commissioned by the National Black Theater and Michelle Obama's When We All Vote to co-create a new work to empower Black voters leading into the 2020 US Presidential election. Candice returns to Carnegie Hall, Caramoor, and more this summer. Recent performances include 2021 We Out Here Fest (UK), NYC JazzFest, Nublu JazzFest, the Public Theater, and the Blue Note. As an activist, she collaborates with the Feminist Press, Well-Read Black Girl, Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights in Law, Harlem Arts Alliance, Women in Music, and numerous grassroots organizations. She has produced her feminist performance-lecture series for Jazz at Lincoln Center and CUNY for three consecutive seasons. Candice has written for Shondaland, Blavity, and the Los Angeles Review of Books, and spoken and performed at TED HQ. Her brand new project is co-written with GRAMMY-award-winning pianist, Sullivan Fortner (Paul Simon, Cecile McLorin Salvant, Dianne Reeves). The project is produced by GRAMMY-award-winning multi-instrumentalist Casey Benjamin (Anderson . Paak, Robert Glasper, Q-Tip) and features performances by vibraphonist Joel Ross (Marquis Hill, Makaya McCraven), trumpeter Keyon Harrold (Nas), Chiara Fasi (Solange). Candice's family hails from Jamaica, and she is an honors graduate of Harvard University, where she studied Sociology and African American Studies and Columbia Law School.https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/podcast (#Podcast) https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/hiphop (#hiphop) https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/theworkingartistproject (#theworkingartistproject) https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/neworleans (#neworleans) https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/musiceducation (#musiceducation) https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/newyork (#newyork) https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/marketing (#marketing) https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/branding (#branding) https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/business (#business) https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/art (#art)
She is so much more than a costume designer. She is a national treasure and global visionary. She was nominated twice for an Oscar for her timeless work on Spike Lee's Malcolm X and Steven Spielberg's Amistad. She became the first African American to win an Academy Award in Costume Design for her exquisite designs on Ryan Coogler's Black Panther. The proud Hampton University graduate has designed an impressive filmography of over 60 diverse film and television projects. She has worked artfully with Spike Lee on 14 films including Do The Right Thing, and has designed for other directors including Ava DuVernay, Lee Daniels, and John Singleton in American iconographic films such as Selma and The Butler. In this impassioned conversation, Tori uncovers her magical journey, her all-time storytelling heroes, her serendipitous first meeting with Ryan Coogler, and more!

Musician, actor, and fashion icon Janelle Monáe has long been creating sci-fi worlds through her albums and performances. With her new short story collection The Memory Librarian, Monáe, along with a team of collaborators, expands on the Afrofuturistic world of one of her critically acclaimed albums, Dirty Computer. Dirty Computer introduced us to a world where people's memories—a key to self-expression and self-understanding—could be controlled or erased by an increasingly powerful few. And whether human, A.I., or something in-between, citizen's lives and sentience were dictated by those of the New Dawn, who'd convinced themselves they had the right to decide fate—that was, until Jane 57821 remembered and broke free. On April 24, 2022, Monáe came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to appear in conversation with one of the Memory Librarian collaborators, short story writer Yohanca Delgado, and George M. Johnson, whose memoir All Boys Aren't Blue, has been banned in a recent wave of censorship of books dealing with themes like race and gender identity.
Janelle Monáe's Afrofuturistic pop album 'Dirty Computer' was nominated for a Grammy in 2019. Now, Monáe brings the sci-fi world into literature through her latest collection of short stories The Memory Librarian. In an interview with Ayesha Rascoe on Weekend Edition Sunday, Monáe spoke about the nightmare that sparked this idea and how it prompted her to reclaim her full identity as a Black, queer woman. In a radical approach to love and community, Monáe hopes to help people feel free to be themselves, especially those whose stories are often marginalized or erased.
In her new book The Memory Librarian, Janelle Monáe expands on the afrofuturistic world of her album Dirty Computer. The collection of five short stories center around Black and queer protagonists on a journey of self-love and discovery. Reset talks to Monáe about entering the literary space, afrofuturism and finding joy ahead of her book talk on Friday at the Harris Theater for Music and Dance in Chicago. Guest: Janelle Monáe, singer-songwriter, actor and author of The Memory Librarian: And Other Stories of Dirty Computer
