Today on the podcast Kamal Sinclair, Director of the New frontier Labs Program at Sundance Institute joins us. Kamal and I started our careers together on the Broadway stage and she has since gone on to becoming one of the first ever Trans-Media producers. She's helped pioneer technologies such as Occulus Rift and art projects like Question Bridge Black Male. We talk about how the New Frontier Lab at Sundance is ushering in the future of storytelling and creating mediums that go beyond AR, VR, and in to Bio-media and Wired Cities. She is one of my favorite people and her knowledge and expertise is informative, interesting and fun. I hope you enjoy.

Episode Three of the Afrofuturist Podcast features Afrofuturist author and speculative fiction writer Ayize Jama-Everett. Ayize is the author of the Science/speculative fiction novels The Liminal People https://www.amazon.com/Liminal-People-Novel-Ayize-Jama-Everett/dp/193152033X and is an amazing and thought provoking thinker. He is a world traveler that has adopted many of his experiences in to his work. Much like myself, Ayize is a committed learner, observer and listener. He's a wonderfully complex story teller and inspiring artist. Enjoy!

Episode Two of THE AFROFUTURIST Podcast, we talk to Maria Alvarez of Microsoft. Her official title is Partner Director of Engineer, but that title is only a fraction of her story. We talk about everything from her futurist mother who was the catalyst for her career in computer science, to artificial intelligence and the oncoming Machine Learning Revolution. This was a great episode for me. I hope you all enjoy Maria Alvarez.
