“What [Octavia Butler] says positive obsession is is something that drives you, like your calling — something that drives you so much that you’re obsessed with it and you cannot stop. For Octavia Butler, writing science fiction was her positive obsession, and in turn my positive obsession is Octavia Butler.”

Ayana Jamieson in the Rector’s Forum at All Saints Church, Pasadena, on Sunday, May 5, 2019.
