Dr. LaWana on Afrofuturism

Afrofuturism uses history as well as the present to inform visions of the future (as well as the past and the present) that encourage us to reverse engineer our way toward actions that lead us most closely to desired future states.

I am so passionate about Afrofuturism because I see it as a way forward for us all.

Afrofuturism is inclusive futurism.
