Self-Advocacy: Pushing Deadlines, Community Support, and an Announcement Afronauts Podcast

In today's pre-chat, Thee Afronauts have some big announcements! We're opening a discord community for Black writers, starting a newsletter, and having our first-ever social! More info below if you're interested.

The meat of today's episode is about self-advocacy. We gave some examples of when we had to advocate for ourselves, discussed turning down opportunities (not easy!), and discussed the importance of community support.

This is the last Afronauts Podcast episode til this fall, but we're focusing on other exciting projects:


Thee Afronauts Black Writers Social is an 18+ virtual event for Black writers. Attendees must email us at theeafronauts@gmail.com for an invite link.


Follow Thee Afronauts on substack! Our first newsletter will be published later this month.


Join our Discord community! This is a space for and by Black writers, period. Email us at theeafronauts@gmail.com for a link.
