----------
In this episode, Jamie and Marcelese reflect on the fantasy genre and it's vast depictions of blackness. Why are we so often stuck in some version of medieval times where melanin is the only fiction? Where have the more carefree narratives for black characters gone, can't we get swept away in flight and fancy too?? Are we gonna need more episodes to explore these issues??? Let's talk about it!
