I have been in touch with Amie Breeze Harper. She is writing her second book, an Afrofuturism and fantasy novel titled Seeds of Sankofa, scheduled to be published next year. Afrofuturism concerns the intersection of the African diaspora culture with science and technology. Breeze aims to inspire decolonization of the imagination during a time when many believe that the future can only be dystopian. She writes, “I have fallen in love with all my characters and their deep connections to justice…soil, seeds, water, and what it takes to birth and create for a future of sustainability and freedom.” If you would like to learn more, visit abreezeharper.com.

Lani (Sipe) Curtis updated me that she recently left her post as director of development at the Oceanside Museum of Art for an associate director position at the San Diego Museum of Art. She also hosted a group of about 20 San Diego-area alums for a private tour of the museum’s current Monet to Matisse exhibition. And at the end of July, her middle son, James, got successful shoulder surgery from Andy Pennock ’99, who lived across the hall from Lani her sophomore year. Lani also recently returned from a two-week sojourn in Europe, a trip rescheduled from 2020. After her sons played in a rugby tour through Ireland, her family bounced over to Croatia just for fun.
