Friends of Harvesting Game
Welcome!
Join the movement to bring this Eco-Afrofuturist journey to readers everywhere. Many people asked how they could support as I officially embark on this writing journey—here are some ways to help make it happen.
Every great movement begins with community. As we approach the July 29th launch of "Harvesting Game," I'm reaching out to invite you to be part of something bigger than just a book release. This illustrated Eco-Afrofuturist novel envisions a future where technology becomes a tool for liberation and community transformation.
About Harvesting Game
