Have you heard about afro-futurism? Even if you've never heard about it, I can guarantee you have seen it in movies and artwork or you have heard it as music. Afro-futurism is the unique intersection of arts, science, and technology and African and/or Black pride. Afro-futurism looks like books by Octavia Butler, music by Janelle Monae and movies like Black Panther.
