[Video] Afrofuturism and Black Veganism: Towards a New Citizenship
The other month I attended the Whidbey Institute’s Intersectional Justice conference where I gave a talk about Uprooting White Fragility. Aph Ko also spoke and gave us holistic food for thought around moving beyond “intersectionality” into the realm of afro-futurism. Christopher Sebastian McJetters is the amazing moderator for the entire event. The video is below and I highly advise you watch it!
Aph Ko created Black Vegans Rock and co-blogs with her sister on Aphro-ism.
