I've found some recently and wanted to write about it.

I listen to afroqueerpodcast.com/ I like its theme tune, but only listening latest episode I took the effort to find full song on YouTube.

It's Pawa by Maia & The Big Sky youtu.be/T0lDdXxotvQ
More music and info on website maiaandthebigsky.com/

Neither Maia Lekow or her father Sal Davis have Wikipedia page, but googling led me to nation.africa/ which claims to be #1 independent media in Africa. It's owned by Kenyan Nation Media Group, which is largest media house in East or Central Africa. Reading about its founder Aga Khan IV lead me to interesting Wikipedia adventure. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aga_Khan

I also heard about film "Space Is the Place" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Is in latest Kermode & Mayo Film Review podcast. It's is considered as a classic film. I found it from YouTube, but I won't add a link since I don't know if it's put there without permission.

Reading more about afrofuturism I found about en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africanf There is a freely downloadable anthology I'm going to read available. brittlepaper.com/2020/10/free-

The publisher of that anthology, Brittle Paper, is an online literary magazine for readers of African Literature. brittlepaper.com/

These seem like good starting points for widening your worldview.
