📚✨ On August 20th, we honored the life, legacy, and radical imagination of Octavia E. Butler through Positive Obsession: The Life and Times of Octavia E. Butler with the brilliant Susana M. Morris at #SistahScifiWineDownWednesday. In conversation with Kendra R. Parker, we reflected on Butler’s journey, her unwavering commitment to storytelling, and the ways her vision continues to shape Black speculative futures.

📚✨ KUOW Book Club Pick Alert! ✨📚

The @kuow Book Club closed out the year with a chef’s kiss choice: Positive Obsession: The Life and Times of Octavia E. Butler by @susiemaye.

Before her passing in Lake Forest Park, Octavia Butler became the most eloquent and elegant voice of Afrofuturism — centering Black women, warning us about the futures ahead, and daring readers to imagine something better.

📖 Positive Obsession: The Life and Times of Octavia E. Butler by Susana M. Morris — a powerful biography honoring the woman who reshaped speculative fiction and challenged us to do the work of building the world we want to live in.

Butler didn’t write doomsday stories. She wrote love letters to humanity — with homework.🖤 A must-read for anyone who believes imagination is an act of resistance.
