About

Welcome back to the Blu Alchemist Podcast! I'm your host, Siquoyia Blue, and today is an extraordinary episode as we celebrate our 100th milestone! From my journey starting in podcasting back on Black Talk Radio at the age of 23 to taking breaks and eventually finding my stride again with Anchor, it's been an incredible ride of growth and learning. In today's episode, we'll dive into a thought-provoking book that has captured my attention—"Parable of the Sower" by Octavia Butler. This dystopian novel, recommended to me through a TikTok scroll, has deeply resonated with me. We'll explore the key themes, complex characters, and powerful societal commentary within Butler's chillingly plausible future. I particularly relate to the protagonist, Lauren Olamina, and her hyper-empathy, innovative Earthseed philosophy, and relentless quest for building a better community. Join me as we unpack the layers of this remarkable novel and its relevance to our current world. Whether you've read the book or its new to you, I'm excited to share my insights and hear your thoughts. So, sit back, subscribe, and let's journey through this fascinating dystopian landscape together. Remember, adaptability is the key—let's embrace change and shape our future!
