Most traditional science fiction depicts a white world where I was not able to freely exist. But in the science fiction of what I’ve come to call “Africanfuturism” (which is somewhat similar to Afrofuturism, but is specifically and more directly rooted in African culture, history, mythology, and perspective, where the center is non-Western), my characters inhabit worlds in which I can fight, play, invent, run, leap, and fly.
