Kosoko Jackson - Yesterday is History

When Artist Alisha Wormsley coined the phrase, “There are black people in the future,” she must have seen who was coming our way. On today’s show, we sit down with new author, Kosoko Jackson, to speak about his debut novel 𝒀𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝑰𝒔 𝑯𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚, a story about being young, black, and queer based in the world of sci-fi. Jackson speaks with us about how he came to write this book, the screen time this novel rightly deserves, and the importance of representation of racial minorities in sci-fi. I’m Dennie, and I’m Veronica, and this is another episode of the Vulgar Geniuses Podcast.
