Happy New Year!

As we start 2026, truly grateful for the amazing colleagues at The MSU Museum. Techno: Detroit’s Machine Music( museum.msu.edu/exhibition/d... ) was a highlight. I’m excited by our continued engagement to tell the story of #Techno in our community and around the world. @msumuseum.bsky.social

I had a chance to talk with Liam Heffernan about the fascination with comic books in the United States for America: A History Podcast. open.spotify.com/episode/4Ish... #Comics #UnitedStates #Culture

I had a chance to talk about Afrofuturism on Every Single Sci-FI Film Ever* alongside Ytasha Womack. open.spotify.com/episode/2HFJ... #Afrofuturism #SciFI #BlackSpeculativePractice #Afrofantastic

I spoke with the WSJ about the influence of JARVIS from the MCU on our collective conversation about AI. www.wsj.com/articles/how...

It was great to participate in these panels at the first ever UmojaCon at XXI Umoja Conference. We had transformative conversations.

Afrofuturism is a path to a better tomorrow. I’m excited to be part of the first-ever UmojaCon in San Jose, CA! This moment is about more than creativity—it’s about community. Please join us if you can. #UmojaXXI #UmojaCon2025 #DrawnFromtheDiaspora

Really interesting presentation to start off the Heroes in Contemporary Popular Culture: Figures, Forms, and Functions at McGill University and Concordia Concordia University #comics #heroes

One of the great pleasure of having Jaime Hernandez on campus is hearing and seeing his pleasure at our engagement with comics across the curriculum. #comics #msuenglish @cssorg.bsky.social @msumuseum.bsky.social

One highlight of Jaime Hernandez’s visit to Michigan State University was his visit to MSU Libraries Comics Art Collection. Our collection is the largest publicly accessible repository of comic books in the world.

The Town That Freedom Built: Black Labor, Black Townships and Afrofuturist Imaginaries offered me, Scot French, Michelle Gibbs and Walter Greason a chance to explore the intersection of black spaces and black imaginaries. We got great engagement from our audience. #ASALH2025

I really appreciated the discussion in "A Decade of Black Erasure: Social Media since 2015" organized by @WalterdGreason. This was a lively discourse that highlighted the need for a space like ASALH to support #digital humanities and generative A.I. discussion

One highlight of #ASAHL25 was having Tim Fielder do a live action drawing during my talk. My thanks to @walterdgreason.bsky.social for his effort putting together such as dynamic series of panels.

Have you seen Sun Ra’s business cards? #Afrofantastic #AfrofuristHistory

If you did not get a chance to visit “Techno: The Rise of Detroit’s Machine Music” this podcast is a great way to understand why I think Techno is an#Afrofuturist sound that changed the world.
