Science fiction and fantasy have always let us envision worlds beyond our own. But who gets to imagine those worlds, and whose voices get to shape the future? Today, we're joined by Shawyonia Pettigrew, the visionary behind Moonlight and Mawazo, an initiative dedicated to amplifying underrepresented voices in speculative fiction and creating space for stories that challenge conventions, celebrate cultural identity, and expand storytelling possibilities. We'll explore the power of imagination as a force for change, the importance of representation in science fiction and fantasy, and what it takes to create opportunities for the next generation of storytellers. So settle in, because today we're talking about more than just telling stories. We're talking about who gets to tell them, why they matter, and how they can change the world. https://linktr.ee/studiotembo
