My Ancestors Are Black Futurists
A conversation exploring how ancestral memory and imagination shape Black visions of time, creativity, and possibility.
This conversation, led by Sip & Sonder co-founder Shanita Nicholas, explores Black futurism as both remembrance and reimagining — a space where ancestry and possibility converge. Through dialogue on time, lineage, and creativity, we’ll reflect on how the past, present, and future coexist in Black thought and expression. Participants are invited to consider how ancestral memory can shape visions of liberation, technology, and community yet to come.

This event is part of Sip & Sonder's Sacred Grounds: From Soil to Soul, a weeklong pop-up in Mexico City celebrating connection across cultures, ancestry, and the journey of coffee from origin to cup. The activation brings together creative, cultural, and culinary experiences that invite participants to explore ancestral rituals, diasporic storytelling, sensory engagement, and communal gathering—all anchored in our shared humanity and the rituals surrounding coffee. The experience honors the interconnectedness of people, land, and culture, tracing coffee’s path from the soils of Ethiopia and Mexico to the cups we share today.
