Miscellaneous
Sometimes a podcast episode is so sprawling it’s hard to describe it, but we’re gonna try our best anyways! This week Robyn talks about the Afrofuturism genre and the exploration of sexuality, individuality, and community contained within its works. She also goes into some of the queer Black icons of both fiction and reality. It’s a both a Happy Pride and Juneteenth in one.
