Episode 2: Dreaming Out Loud — Reclaiming Black Imagination as Tech Strategy
As kids, we were told to stop daydreaming—but what if our imaginations were always the real strategy?
In this episode of Futures in Black, Kasheia explores Black imagination as a radical technology—one that’s been suppressed, commodified, and dismissed, yet continues to shape resistance and build liberated futures. From Harriet Tubman’s prophetic dreams to AI systems rooted in empathy, we’re rethinking what tech, strategy, and freedom actually look like when Black minds lead.
This isn’t just about fantasy. It’s infrastructure. It’s design. It’s the blueprint.
