Immortal with Valjeanne Jeffers
In this episode, author Valjeanne Jeffers and I chat about her afrofuturistic series, Immortal. We talk about her characters, the importance of the Afrofuturism genre, why all the good Black TV shows keep getting canceled and making a statement about the human condition. We also let folks know that Black people are here to stay!
