The idea of afro-futurism challenges black creatives to use their mediums to ensure we [those from African descent] are not erased from the narrative in the future as we have been in the past and present. Black Panther explores afro-futurism in ways I couldn’t have even imagined. It is amazing how a superhero movie could become such a strong statement. Through
