This conversation gives me so much joy!
I love see you two vibe out, Tristan Strong and the Rebecca Roanhorse's work — also Terese Imma teach "Unbraided, Clean" in my next Afrofuturism class fo'realz
Great interview!
Two favs in one video!! 🙌🏾
This was amazing to watch and I’m excited for this series to blossom 😻😻😻!!!!
Think the first spec fic poetry I read was Libra Season. It's semi-autobiographical and uses fantasy-based metaphors. I think it was the 1st poetry collection I read for fun and enjoyed. The poetry in FIYAH is really good too. I should check out Manifest.
This was a great interview. Thank you for introducing me to Terese Mason Pierre and Afrofuturistic POETRY, which I didn't know was a thing. So… I'mma have to start digging and find some more.
I've struggled answering the childhood ritual question, struggling with the idea that my own experiences are so different from many people in the diaspora because they seem so unique at first glance. Then I remembered reading the "country game" from Violet Bulawayo's book, We Need New Names, and how it struck all the way home.
Buying raw mangoes from a sketchy roadside seller who sliced them and sprinkled them with a mixture of spices, then chewing them as fast as possible so we could get rid of the mango-curry flavour on our breaths before Mom smelled it.
What a great interview! Thank you Nijeri, for starting this interesting project. I hadn't heard of Terese Mason Pierre before but have to defintely check her out. That poem – Unbraided, Clean – was so powerful in its imagery. 😍
Also great to see the two of you get excited about black mermaids. Check out lalasdreambox on IG. She has some beautiful paintings of black mermaids (- and stickers).
All the best and stay safe💚
A+ for the intro graphics. Really cool and polished👌🏾
omg this makes me so happy! I've recently started following Terese's work and this was a delightful interview. I only recently discovered your channel as well, I'm also in the GTA between Toronto and Hamilton. It's nice to find local voices 😊 I'm excited for more videos in this series!
What childhood ritual would you love to see turned into poetic magic?
