Wildseeds is a collective of feminists of color that uses speculative fiction as a resource for social change. Our work, steeped in Black feminist traditions of survival and healing, engages Octavia Butler and other speculative/sci-fi and fantastical authors. The group was founded in New Orleans in 2013 by Desiree Evans and Soraya Jean-Louis McElroy in response to Adrienne Maree Brown's call to us

e Octavia Butler's work as a tool to build emergent strategy. Wildseeds hosts regular meetings and gatherings celebrating, lifting up, studying, and utilizing the work of Octavia Butler and other visionaries. We gather not only to discuss speculative fiction by writers of color, but also to provide material and spiritual support to one another as we work to transform the world and our communities through our creativity, organizing, and through our very survival. We strive to create a loving, accepting, healing, and sacred space for women of color to envision and create the worlds we need.
