“Afrofuturism is a philosophical, artistic, and sci-fi reclamation of the past, present, and cosmic future of African diaspora people. [Dr. Holmes next quotes Josh Jones,] ‘Afrofuturism transforms trauma, the erasure of Black past, and bleak prospects for the future into powerful displays of creative agency.’” —Barbara A. Holmes, *Race and the Cosmos*, p. 220

“Seven Years of Wonder” is a daily look back at my creative journaling posts since 2014. I began this journey on Feb. 11, 2021, and hope to continue through Feb. 10, 2022. What am I learning about my art and faith journey thus far? What has remained constant? Where have I been changed? How is this impacting present and future art-making?

A deep bow of gratitude to you for keeping me company on this journey.
