The image is a bold, decorative promotional graphic set against a black background with ornate, symmetrical patterns along the left and right borders in gold, red, and green. At the top center, large, colourful text reads: “ZamaShort BUNDLE 10–12” The letters are styled in a gradient of red, yellow, and green, giving a vibrant, Afrocentric feel. Below this title, there is a horizontal band featuring three triangular panels, each showcasing a different short story. The panels are arranged side by side like banners, with intricate gold patterns behind them. From left to right: Left panel Title: “Vibrating Particles” Author: Daniel Joe The text is elegant and stylised, with a red symbol beneath the title. Center panel Title: “Gold-Plated Boy” Author: Hussani Abdulrahim The title appears in bold gold lettering, standing out strongly against the dark background, with a blue symbol below. Right panel Title: “Did You Get Married to Her When I Was in the Mental Hospital?” Author: Abigail George The text is colorful and varied in style, with a green symbol beneath. Above the panels, a repeating strip includes the words “ZamaShort,” “Exclusive Original,” and “Single Short Stories,” reinforcing the branding.

📚 This is #africanfuturism

I have spent years telling people that I write africanfuturism. That I do not write and never have written “afrofuturism”, a reductive and America-centric label that gets slapped on all things black and speculative regardless of everything. I have taken the time to define the term Africanfuturism for people for clarity and understanding of the cultural differences and significance. The distinction matters. I have explained on numerous occasions why I coined it as one word, not two. Why there is no capital ”F”, etc. I’ve had whyte people push back at me saying that they they knew my own background and culture better better than me and they will choose who I am to be called. I have had black people accuse me of being divisive for basically existing and being proud of my existence. I’ve watched others suddenly scramble to make up their own terms so they, *gasp*, don’t have to use the one I coined (do whatever you like, I don’t care…but it’s cute how it took me stepping up and fighting for space for years for you to step up. Yeah, you’re welcome). People act like they can’t spell or control autocorrect. They act confused, vapid and kinda stupid. They get really emotional about me defining myself, despite the fact that I had good reason to. The issue is bigger than the name of a category and limited understanding of culture within speculative fiction. It’s about black culture and identity, as a whole. Now I see it manifesting in a different way with Death of the Author. I see people saying they’re not sure if the main character is Nigerian or American (she’s Nigerian American, naijamerican…and my very first novel, an adult literary novel with mystical elements, was rejected by editors at the major publishers, editors who were whyte AND one who was black, BECAUSE they didn’t know if my character was American or Nigerian. I’ve come full circle). I see some mistakenly saying the novel is set in Nigeria (it’s mainly set in Chicago, though we’ve got Trinidad and Tobago, B…

All this. Still.
If I don't say it, no one will. Thankfully, I have a big mouth.

57TH NAACP IMAGE AWARDS® THE FUTURE OF STORYTELLING IS HERE 'This one has it all." -GEORGE R. R. MARTIN DEATH OF THE AUTHOR A NOVEL Nnedi Okorafor NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR NOMINEE OUTSTANDING LITERARY WORK - FICTION

My novel DEATH OF THE AUTHOR is a nominee for an NAACP Image Award, 🥰. Amazing. I'm so honored. #Africanfuturism

Full list of all categories here: www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Death of the Author by @nnedi.bsky.social TLDR: #AfricanFuturism a disabled first-generation African immigrant woman writes a book about robots after humans are gone and becomes famous, but that really undersells one of the best books I read this year. Can't go wrong with any of her books, actually.

Noor, the 2021 science fiction novel by Nnedi Okorafor, as a clue in the crossword.

My novel NOOR was a clue in the New York Times Crossword Puzzle, 😃. #Africanfuturism FTW. 🇳🇬

You call my work afrofuturism and sometimes I’ll correct you, sometimes I will not. But I will always quietly judge you because, dude, get a clue.

This book made me feel things I haven’t felt in years. It’s introspective, spiritual, and raw. It left me feeling like I was floating in the infinite space of my own consciousness, contemplating what it means to be alive. What even is life…?
