African Based Speculative Fiction

[The Wall Is Undefeated!]

This is exactly what our people need more of.
indigenous African mythology representing our African ancestry

I said this years ago. We diasporans need to create spec fiction that represents us.

Nigerians (whatever ethnicity) need to create spec fiction for Nigerians.
Sudanese need to create spec fiction for Sudanese.
Afro-Brazilians need to create spec fiction for Afro-Brazilians.
And so on.

The time of complaining, whining and bytching about it and asking for scraps and palette swaps is over.

Not feeling just feels like a the Last Airbender clone x anime-ish.

Lot of these projects, I only boost because they're Black.

But a lot if not most of them don't look good independent of representation.

The Miles Morales movies are the platinum standard of how to integrate, culture, representation, story telling, and art.

But it really can't be the reality that any type of Black/Black adjacent story needs MCU money to be done right.

In the backdrop are the infinite # of White (and Japanese/Korean/Chinese) shows that get made, and are horrible out the gate. And this is happening at all funding levels.

Just bought the iyanu books. I'll read through them then give them to the little girl.

Can't complain there's no content if you don't support. Gonna watch the show too.

Dazzling by Chikodili Emelumadu

Soon you will become the thing all other beasts fear.

Treasure and her mother lost everything when Treasure's daddy died. Haggling for scraps in the market, Treasure meets a spirit who promises to bring her father back - but she has to complete a monstrous task for him first.

Ozoemena has an itch in the middle of her back that can't be scratched. An itch that tells of her great and terrible destiny, passed down through generations, to defend her people by becoming a leopard. Her father impressed upon her what an honour this was before he vanished, but it's one she couldn't want less.

But as the two girls reckon with their burgeoning wildness and the legacy of their fathers' decisions, Ozoemena's fellow students at her new boarding school start to vanish. Treasure and Ozoemena will face frightening choices as they are drawn into battle with sinister forces - and it's a fight they can't both survive.
