On My Blog: A New Novel Announcement, Shigidi Paperback Out Now In North America And A Visit To Stefen's Book Club. wtalabi.wordpress.com/2025/11/12/a...

Alright y'all. This is finally happening.

Wait. What! OMG! 🙏🏾🙏🏾 @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social, @nuzo.bsky.social, @suyidavies.com, @tobiogundiran.com, @xanwriter.bsky.social, @nerinedorman.bsky.social, @shingai-be-like.bsky.social, @dilmandila.com.web.brid.gy

“Binti” is Nigerian American author Nnedi Okorafor’s first story set in space. Okorafor explores Africanfuturism, a subcategory of science fiction rooted in African culture, history, and mythology. #WomenofAfrofuturism

My new book argues technology needs an ethos: In Africa and Ghana that ethos is Pan-African Futurism. The product of over 10 years of on-the-ground and digital research with tech developers and Ghana's digital diaspora — www.ucpress.edu/books/pan-af...

South African folklore: www.getaway.co.za/travel/trave... #folklore #folkloring #southafrica #capetown #myth

When we read Children of Blood and Bone we were surprised (not really) by the fact that we’re exposed to so little African folklore in America, even though it’s our ancestry and culture. #blackbooksy #booksky nerdyromanticspodcast.com/children-of-...

It looks epic. I'm on a real Afrofuturism/Africanfuturism kick too at the moment (which I think this looks like it is). However... we suck at selling comics and graphic novels. I wish we didn't, but we've also had 3 copies of Anticucho for over a year now. beyondcataclysm.co.uk/product/anticucho/

This the book I've been working on for a while now. It features gorgeous art from Bimpe Alliu, editing & lettering from Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, and logo design from Salt & Sister Studios. But how do you want it? Do you read digital comics? What platforms? Do you want a physical copy?
