Eagerly awaiting the chance to watch this African-Anime film! 😍 🤩

"The story centers on a 12-year-old Congolese girl who is transported to the Mfinda, a primordial forest of spirits, gods and ancestors. There, she joins another young girl from a different time, and embarks on a journey to find the magical Nkisi in hopes of finding her way back home."

Happy #BlackFriday! I *think* the hashtag is meant to celebrate black creators (artists, musicians, #writers, etc.) so today I wanna tell you all to read work by #NnediOkorafor!

Personally I love the Nsibidi Script Series is a coming of age of sorts about a U.S. born girl living in #Nigeria who learns she has ✨ magic✨ powers and learns how to use them. #BlackMastodon #YAFantasy #AfricanLit #AfricanFantasy

Ohh very nice an anthology about the difficulties of creating speculative fiction in a pandemic in Africa.

Mr Ekpeki writes like Wyndham at his height but has not yet come into his full strength I think and that's with the multiple awards won.   One to watch!
