Lola Olufemi: Be the Change

Reading Lola Olufemi is, according to the Guardian, ‘to believe that another world is possible’. Olufemi’s Experiments in Imagining Otherwise is a rallying cry for political change informed by Black feminism and activism. It’s a torrent of urgent emotional expression, shifting between poetry and prose, that urges readers to grab the future and run with it. Maybe, suggests Olufemi, we already know what to do.
