In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide. What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole?

It’s easy to feel like our brains can’t keep up when AI makes it so easy to have everything optimized and automated. But your mind is still magic—and our environment needs you to remember that!! Here’s how to protect it 👇👇👇 1. No-Tech Thinking Hour ➡️ Set aside one hour a week where you noodle on ideas with zero AI or Google. Journal, voice memo, or mind-map. Start easy by following creators like @stephthefounder for her stellar Sunday reads. 2. Debate Out Loud—Even Alone ➡️ Argue in the shower, while walking, or in voice notes. Pick a topic and articulate both sides. Watch a philosophy debate, pause before rebuttals, and insert your own. 3. Curate Your “Originality Diet” ➡️ Consume books, podcasts, and art outside your lane. Read a 19th-century novel if you’re a finance girly, watch a cooking doc if you’re in tech, read mythology if you’re a political junkie. 4. Hot Takes Notebook ➡️ Jot down every spicy or contrarian thought. Later, revisit and expand. Raw instinct → sharp perspective. 5. Memory Flexes ➡️ Instead of fact-checking instantly, recall names, dates, or concepts first. Being wrong still strengthens your brain. 6. Micro-Writing Sprints ➡️ Set a 5-minute timer and write nonstop on one idea—no editing, no AI. You’ll surprise yourself. 7. Low-Stakes Salon ➡️ Book club, dinner, group chat—phones down, ideas up. Bonus: invite +1s with totally different interests to diversify the convo. 8. Analog Games ➡️ Cards, chess, Scrabble, puzzles. 9. Engage With Complexity ➡️ Read dense books, attend lectures, or wrestle with essays. Sitting in the discomfort of not “getting it” is brain cardio. 10. Teach What You Know ➡️ Share ideas in a group chat, over dinner, or in a voice note. Explaining forces clarity and reminds you—you are the authority.
