I have been thinking a lot about black sci fi and speculative fiction and the lack there of. I have been inspired by connecting with some folks in the Black Science Fiction Society.
I am clear there is a market that is hungry for this type of content and that now with the internet we have an unprecedented opportunity to create and distribute some great content that we’ve never seen before. I am excited about the future!!
I have an old friend from college named Geoffery Thorne who is a very succesful black sci-fi writer.
ReplyDeleteHe's on Facebook and I have read a couple of his books, and he's dope!
He also has some Star trek episodes and a lot of other, current series on TV as well.
He's a dude that will get a person hyped about black sci-fi...
I just remember our colleague on the Pan African film festival panel that told the audience that no one is interested in black people in outer space!LOL...
I thin that was a mistake.
Nice blog Eric!
