My last panel at the 2025 Alliance Literary Festival was on "The Power of Make-Believe" with Arefa Tehsin and @tashanmehta.bsky.social. Moderated by Shamik Chakravarty. I stressed that one issue with the criticism of speculative fiction as "escapism" is it ignores the genre's power of allegory.

Submissions are now open for our first edition of 2025! We are looking for fiction, and non-fiction from artists and writers from Africa and the African Diaspora. Send us your work on or before February 20, 2025. Submission Guidelines: omenana.com/omenana-subm...
