Everything humanity has ever created \u2013 the good and the bad \u2013 started with imagination. But what if we could harness the power of imagination to build a truly just future for Black people? To dream so big the world as it exists can\u2019t even contain our vision? We spoke with adrienne maree brown, an author and activist behind many books, including "Octavia's Brood" and "Emergent Strategy," that explore visionary ways to build a joyful, liberated future for Black people using nature, science fiction, pleasure, and afrofuturism as jumping off points. If we\u2019re going to build a liberated Black future, we\u2019ve got to dream big.
