I'm Autumn Brown, frontwoman of the eponymously named Soul Pop Band, Autumn,

a queer science fiction writer, a theologian, a mother of dragons,

and a healing justice facilitator for social movements living on Dakota and Inishinaabe land

currently known as Minneapolis.

And I'm Adrian Marie Brown, a luscious black queer witch writer Auntie, an apocalyptic cosmic optimist, and a

gardener of healing ideas. I live in the land of the Shikori, Skiroui, Tuscarora, and Lombie peoples

known as Durham. And this is how to survive the end of the world. Our podcast about learning

from apocalypse with grace, rigor,

and curiosity. As a reminder, we still are ad-free. We are fully listener-supported.

She writes comic books including exceptional X-Men, yes, those X-Men, and Iron Heart,

and Black Panther, and TV and theater, and a lot of other things as well. Eve is an associate

professor in the Department of Race, Diaspora, and Digenity at the University of Chicago. We should check
