This is Karen Hunter and welcome to the hub. There's always been a plethora of great black creatives in this this fantasy world.

They just didn't have a platform, you know. I grew up on Tannano Roo. I didn't grow up on her that were contemporaries.

Octavia Butler, you know, now we're seeing a whole new world of people who have always got to been there lurking, doing

their thing.

And so I want to make sure this platform gives all of the flowers while people are

alive and I want to say thank you to them.

Let me welcome to the show author of Infinitum. That's his new book graphic novel. Let me welcome Mr. Tim Fielder. Welcome.

Hello, how you doing? Good to see you brother. How are you?

I'm doing okay and I am pleased to know that you are blurred.

Oh, I don't want to put a title on it.

I don't want to put a title on it.

Now let me... what I love is us in every iteration and facet of who we are and I feel like

you know society will want to put us in these boxes and so when I run into people like you and

John Jennings and Carvernado and Yureus and all of the brothers out there and sisters

the meia Greens and others who are doing this work.

I'm like, yay, thank you, thank you.

Thank you.

You know, children are blood and bones.

Who's that?

That's a, um, I mean, I, Tommy, Tommy, uh, yeah, I am, which I just downloaded the second version of it. I read everything. So, I won't even allow you to pigeon hold me.

I'm everything.

So I don't think I could if I tried.
