“Where I Am Now – Five Years From Now

it’s 2030, and i live in alignment with spirit, with time, with truth. i run a thriving institution rooted in storytelling, technology and African eco-feminist wisdom. my second and third books are out - one a spiritual/decolonial memoir, the other a critical reflection on AI. both are studied in universities and embraced by global readers seeking slower, truer ways of knowing.
Seasons of Becoming has a life of its own - a healing movement, a dedicated creative retreat. my photography has been exhibited across Lisbon, Berlin, Accra, Morocco and Cape Town and featured in major publications. i’ve been invited to sacred stages and artistic festivals. i speak not just to inform, but to transform.
financially, i am stable and flourishing. i live in a creative communal space by the waterfront, surrounded by nature. respecting the land with no ownership to my name. my consultancy works with kin across continents, blending strategy with soul. i no longer chase opportunities - they arrive in alignment.

most importantly, i live gently. my days are spacious. my child is thriving. my mom is thriving. my family is thriving. i am not surviving.
i am fully, audaciously alive.

we are free!”

“whenever we encounter the name Octavia E. Butler, some of us feel a shift, a deep, spiritual resonance that defies comprehension. it doesn't matter how many times we engage with her words, that something lingers, stirring, moving, shifting. and as the timeline stretches, the reasons begin to reveal themselves. when the darkness swells in me, i return to these fragments of her life, hoping to witness the absolute breath and depth of my own words in this lifetime. because Octavia E. Butler showed us how.”
