Afro- and Age-Futurism: Imagining a Better Future for All Elders

At Home, On Air

May 18 2022 • 45 mins

Join us as we discuss Afro- and Age-Futurism with Raina J. León, PhD, Poet, Writer, Artist, Educator and her mother Dr. Norma Thomas, LCSW, Educator. Norma and her daughter Raina are frequent collaborators. They recently put forth and co-wrote a piece about afro- and age-futurism in a recent issue of Generations. What can be learned from afro-futurism, which visualizes a future where people of African descent are liberated fully and integrally as part of society with full equity, for the concept of age-futurism? How can the effort of one movement support another? What would a future look like in the United States, where we do not pit people and generations against one another but integrate them? Norma and Raina are the perfect role model of bridging this divide.
