Octavia E.
Butler meets Marvel's Black Panther in The Deep , a story rich with Afrofuturism, folklore, and the power of memory, inspired by the Hugo Award-nominated song The Deep from Daveed Diggs's rap group Clipping.
Yetu holds the memories for her people--water-dwelling descendants of pregnant African slave women thrown overboard by slave owners--who live idyllic lives in the deep.
Their past, too traumatic to be remembered regularl.
