Join us as we chat with adrienne maree brown and Autumn Brown about all things Octavia in the most recent episode of the Pattern Podcast.

The Pattern Podcast EP. 3 QC

The Pattern is gathering place for folks inspired by and committed to shaping Change in the tradition of Octavia E. Butler’s work, life and beyond! Join Ayana Jamieson and Moya Bailey of the Octavia E. Butler Legacy Network to find out more about how this community thrives. In this episode we invite you to be apart of the Pattern, share our history, what it’s like to visit the Butler Archives, and highlight some major events we’ve had over the past few years.

Episode 001 Introducing the Pattern

The Season of Change happens every year between Feb 24th and June 22nd, the times that begin with Octavia’s transition to the realm of the ancestors to her re/birth on June 22nd each year. We invite you to celebrate her life with us by working to:

learn a new skill,
use #BecauseOfOctavia to share the ways you are making art, life, poetry, work that is shaped by her legacy with us and on social media
Extend your web of awareness to include your loved ones and chosen kin,
Invest in analog forms of communication (keep a journal, send a letter/postcard and so on)
Support our Patreon at any level and we will mail you something in honor of the Season of Change
Begin to prepare for Lauren Oya Olamina’s on July 20 so we can start celebrating our next holiday!

Episode 002 The Season of Change

Earlier this spring we talked to Asha Grant, Director of the Free Black Women's Library - Los Angeles. Many of Asha's events quickly sell out and have standing room only! In this episode, we talk about what the library needs, Magic and Freedom, misogynoir, libraries as vital community spaces, and looking forward to Lauren Oya Olamina's Birthday on July 20, 2019.

In honor of Octavia E. Butler's 72nd birthday, Octavia E. Butler Legacy Network and FBWL-LA are collaborating on an event, Lily Pad + Lit: Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Octavia E. Butler at the Huntington Library.
