@HaileyHeppner I know!!!! Crazy. I honestly think the modern day and age in which we live in fits us in the mold that a person doing what binti did is crazy and is abnormal. I think it’s a good thing at times and can really help the people who may want to find themselves. #xavierfys04
I loved how she was able to find a whole new culture. I felt like it opened up some culture to me and I liked that. It was odd for me because I’ve never had anything like that. #xavierfys04
The genre and idea of afrofuturism is honestly really cool to me. I love reading about the future of things and diaspora culture. I also think this book is going to have some philosophy and use of futuristic philosophical ideas. #xavierfys04
I think this book is going to offer a lot of different cultural perspectives and explain some things I’ve never heard of before. I’m all in for it. #xavierfys04
@GrinerLexi I love the depiction and description that you gave of this genre. I am excited for this short book because I’ve never really heard of this genre. #xavierfys04
@forFYSclass Really well said, makes me relate to the conversations I've had about similar topics. I hadn't thought of that until now. It is crazy to think about how much we stereotype in the modern day without even knowing it. #Xavierfys04
I have never been a person to stereotype purposefully, sometimes I think it happens naturally as the ted talk said but I also think it's important to try to recognize the natural stereotyping and try to fix it. #xavierfys04
The TED talk made me think about some things, I will definitely be carrying a different perspective when thinking about Single Stories and short stories. #xavierfys04
