We navigate the intricate intersections of gender, identity, and societal constructs, centering the experiences of Black Women—those enduring and living a Black experience. Through these lenses, we challenge conventional and colonial narratives, exploring how a meta-modern perspective invites us to deconstruct feminine oppression while embracing fluidity, complexity, and inclusivity. Join us as we uncover the transformative power of redefining and reclaiming femininity beyond a Theopoetic, “Old Smelly Box.”Below is a list of books and films mentioned in our podcast discussions.

Together, we explore how this innovative framework intersects with concepts like the Black Technosphere, Data Ownership and Citizenship, Black Meta-Modernism, and Afro-Futurism. What does it mean to expand the boundaries of Black identity through technological and philosophical lenses? How can Black Transhumanism challenge dominant narratives while opening pathways for freedom, resilience, and cultural renewal? Dr. Butler shares insights into how these ideas navigate the complexities of innovation and tradition, individuality and community, and the digital and physical realms. Through an engaging discussion of technology, philosophy, culture, and lived experience, we uncover both the possibilities and challenges that Black Transhumanism presents for imagining new futures. Whether you’re deeply familiar with these ideas or encountering them for the first time, this episode offers an inspiring exploration of identity, agency, and the evolving intersections of Black experience and creativity in a rapidly changing world.Below is a list of books and films mentioned in our podcast discussions.
