Nnedi Okorafor and Science FictionIn preparation to read Nnedi Okorafor’s novel Binti, students viewed this talk that she gave and answered questions. Excerpt from Student Response to the final question (shared with permission): What connections do you draw between topics Okorafor addressed and other texts we have read or ideas we have discussed this term? What can learning about Binti and science fiction teach you about college life in general and at NYIT?

This shows the passion one has to have to seek change and do something different.
