Core topics and Portfolio

Bridging the Ancient and the Modern

Future Earth examines how humanity’s relationship with the natural world is evolving in an era of climate disruption and ecological renewal.

It connects indigenous and diasporic knowledge systems with contemporary environmental science, highlighting ways of living that honor the land, protect biodiversity, and rethink resource use.

This pillar asks how planetary care — rooted in both ancestral wisdom and modern innovation — can guide us toward more resilient futures.

Bringing the Past Alive

Cultural Memory explores the threads that link generations.
It centers oral tradition, symbolism, ritual, and the lived histories of African and diasporic communities, treating them as technologies of remembrance.

This pillar reveals how memory shapes identity, how heritage influences creativity, and how recovering lost or hidden histories strengthens our collective imagination.

It affirms that the past is not static — it is active material for building tomorrow.

Lapis-Lazuli. Egyptomania. Ownership of Antiquities.

Future Imagined is where possibility takes form.

It invites writers and thinkers to explore alternative worlds, reinterpret the present through speculative lenses, and consider futures shaped by justice, creativity, and cultural continuity.

Grounded in Afrofuturist philosophy, this pillar embraces non-linear time, visionary design, and re-enchantment — opening pathways to futures that expand, rather than constrain, human potential.

Making the Past Accessible.

Sharing stories and knowledge about the past in an engaging and accessible manner is a focal area of my work. From workshops teaching how to write hieroglyphs to kids to lectures on the Age of the Pyramid Builders, learn about the variety of programming and events I can offer.
