The impact of Octavia Butler’s life and work has paved the way for African American female writers, especially those in the science fiction genre. Her work and can be appreciated even more now with the astonishing political climate of this presidential election year and just the overall strange phenomenon that we call “Two thousand and twenty”. I think we all can agree that current events have been akin to a weird science fiction book.
Nonetheless, we would like to take a moment to remember Octavia E. Butler. Widely regarded as the foremost Black woman in sci-fi literature, Butler is also the first science fiction writer to win a prestigious MacArthur Foundation fellowship and multiple prestigious writing awards that have made her name memorable around the world. Despite many obstacles she faced along the way, Octavia Butler’s career thrived and she became one of America’s best-selling authors to date.

Which one of Octavia’s books have you read? And what was your favorite?
Octavia Butler was an amazing author. Her writing is visionary, insightful and ahead of her time. Yet it speak s so much about the issues of today.
For a long time, even up until the 90s, Black bookstores in my area didn’t carry books by Octavia or Audre Lorde because they were lesbian.
This is why too many folks don’t know their names, though I know many more do today.
Thanks for raising up Octavia Butler today! ❤
Just FYI, @blackexcellist… Thumbnail says this vid is about Nichelle Nichols not Octavia Butler. 😉
She approved my theory when I was 12.(scary I'm almost 100%) She told me my name is hope for black people. 34 now, I lived what no one has ever gone through from slander to the loss of hundreds of millions. She is I and magic is real.
One of my favorite English teachers introduced me to her work in high school. I've been a fan ever since. The Patternist series is my all-time favorite.
YEAH ! I have her books , since 1998. Her writing is fabulous. I remember being crushed she had died. favorite book by Octavia Butler , "Parable of the Sower" .
Very interesting.
The Patternist series was the best!
She was truly a genius
Naola Hopkinson and Nnedi Okafor are amazing as well
I'm naming my second daughter Octavia. She did so much for my third eye and blerd soul as a youth 💜🙌🏾
Beautiful tribute👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I read Kindred. It was so interesting.
Can you do the top richest neighborhoods in Africa ??? Please
Great story of this Prolific writer…. however; it seems to me much of her story ideas and subject matters have been adopted or stolen by other film makers and writers without giving her original credit. I can think of several movies series that sounds like they came directly from this famous author.
Thanks for this
Awesome Video!!! I hope that someone will start creating movies of her work!! May her LEGACY live on!! 💪🏽✊🏽💕
Nice video, Lots of Trump bashing
Black sisters are so talented, 🍾🍾🍾✊🎉🔥⭐
I'm embarrassed to say that this is the first time hearing about this great icon. I always learn about us when coming to this channel. Thank you. I'm going to buy her books starting with Kindred
I loveeeee her. Kindred is such a good book. So are her short stories in Bloodlines. Ugh i love her work.
Hey can you do a video on black student athletes or something around black athletes who still have high gpa or side hustles too.
My absolute favorite writer!
We need to storm Hollywood and demand we get not only movies from her books but also a bio pic.
Great video. Imagine if they'd given her the kind of wide spread publicity they gave to writers like Stephen King. Also the title of the book is "Fledgling", with an L in each syllable, not "fledging".
❤.
Great video
Loved all of her works! My favorite writer of all time! Excellence 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
One of my favorite authors and from my hometown. 💛
Wow. I used to live in Pasadena. I went to Pasadena High school. She went to John Muir. Muir wasn't considered a good high school academically. It's a shame I have never heard of this lady.
Wow I didn't know much about her until now…..Black excellence at its finest
One of my most favorite Authors, late Octavia E. Butler! 🙂
Kindred
This sister's death was a great loss!✊🏾
Wow was this recorded in Detroit? That's where my store is!!!!! Mark my words, I WILL MAKE THIS CHANNEL for black excellence!
I have read many of her works and she is indeed a presence and a towering light.
If you have not read any of her works, you have done yourself a disfavor.
