Meet one of the instructors for our newest course 𝐁𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡, 𝐀𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐙𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐧 (@ayzaco).
Ayana is an anti-disciplinary artist and cultural worker from Prince George's County, Maryland. During a biotechnology residency at Ginkgo Bioworks, she wrote the non-linear speculative fiction novella 'Cykofa: The Seeda Origin Story' in collaboration with creative writing software she engineered at the Recurse Center.
She is the founder and steward of Seeda School, named after Seeda, the non-binary biotechnologist living in Cykofa, an abolitionist community seeded by black feminist ancestors. Seeda School houses a community of practice for black feminist worldbuilding and creative actualization. Through Seeda School they publish a newsletter on Substack and podcast 'For the Worldbuilders.'
Inside the ecosystem of their practice Ayana braids storytelling, engineering, and interspecies collaboration to engage our collective imagination around the worlds we need in the future we desire.

2023 and wow baby was a baby. I already know I’m going to live to be 100 because that’s how long it’s going to take to even begin to figure out my suspension paintings. I need 70 more years AT LEAST. Cotton, code, cattle holding on in a copper frame—bitmapped black feminism, presenting portals of new worlds for those who know how to look.
Returning to my painting practice soon. I miss how it slows me down. The poetry needs paint like the paint needs poetry.

How about we fly toward the source again? 🕊️ In search of tenderness we found it inside surrender.
My intention inside this episode is to ground us inside the reality that we are ✨ constantly ✨ changing. Our motivations are changing. Our values might be experiencing a re-boot. And the things that kept us going in the past might no longer be a reliable fuel source. Instead of resenting or resisting our desire to slow down, prioritize our most meaningful relationships, or operate from a place of wholeness….What if we used these changes in our capacity, goals and desires as our new navigation tools and fuel to get us where we actually want to go instead of the destinations we were told to go in search of a false sense of safety? In this episode I share 5 approaches for staying motivated when ambition rooted in external validation has left your body.

And listen, I’m well aware fascists governments are bombing and burning sacred sites of study all over the world: universities, libraries, museums and churches.
My intention for recording and posting this video is *not* to make light of those realities, my intention is to invite us to imagine where we go after the fire.
Perhaps it’s where we’ve always gone? Toward each other. A long time ago I realized I could speak in JSTOR or I could speak to the people. I chose the latter.
🔗 Join me inside your Erotic Exodus if you’re desiring to do the same.

Pay black feminists now, thank them later.
If you’re dreaming about building black feminist worlds, join us inside the podcast “For The Worldbuilders,” only available on Substack.
We’re almost 100 episodes in. Imagining how we resource new world is literally all I talk about over there and I wouldn’t have it any other way. 💌

I’m so clear on what I love to do and that is helping us get paid *more* to work *less*.
Back in 2021, I co-authored an erotic science fiction novella with creative writing software I engineered in a biotechnology residency and I’ve been eating off that single seed for the last 5 years.
Most of my clients are Black feminist professors, researchers or scientists building frameworks too erotic for institutions. This is my specialty, I help you engineer your erotic idea into a framework and offer that not only generates income you control, but has the power to generate income across a lifetime.
And guess what? I’m damn good at it, ask around. 🤝🏾

We can’t pay you if we can’t find you.
To be clear, when I say this I’m not talking about simply finding you on social media—we know that doesn’t always equal sales. I’m talking about developing a framework that communicates your worldbuilding ideas and translates them into an offer you can sell in an email.
I’m returning to the podcast For The Worldbuilders, to tell you about my new 1:1 container: Erotic Exodus.
Translate years of sacred research and IP into a single framework, build an offer for generating income you control, and create an income ecosystem that gives you an overview of your sales strategy and goals for executing your Erotic Exodus. Across the next 90 days we’ll work together 1:1 to plot your Erotic Exodus, step by step, so you’ll know the highest leverage actions to take and when.
Let’s go.

To be clear, this is also a note to self.
Almost every conversation I’ve been having with cultural workers this fall has centered around some version of the same question: how do we do this for the long haul?
We’re all asking it. It always comes back to this question, doesn’t it? How do we stay in the work? You do it long enough and you realize the practice is all there is—this is a choreography of continuation. Nothing more, nothing less.
How’s your relationship with self? How’s your relationship with the folks to the left and the right of you? These are the relationships that scale into systems and infrastructure if we keep going. And it’s clear we will keep going.
So are we tending to the small, are we tending to the daily, are we tending to relation? Because this too is worldbuilding.

Dreaming bigger than we ever should…
But we should and we can.
☁️ Inside this current cultural, political and economic climate: articulating and standing on one’s desire can trigger a self-consciousness so profound it induces a blanket of silence. In times like these it can feel frivolous, embarrassing and even dangerous to have hope for any sort of future—let alone a better one. We’re so afraid of disappointment that sometimes we refuse to dream. Herein lies the true danger, for without vision there is no movement and a life without movement is a certain kind of death.
Inside Seeda School we tend to your audacious desire, honor your unreasonable hope and worldbuild toward your vision of aliveness.
🕯️ Join us if you are committed to worldbuilding from an “internal sense of satisfaction,” where there is nothing to prove, nothing to contort oneself to become worthy of, nothing to strive for, nothing to chase—because everything you need is already inside you.
🔗 Enrollment closes tonight. Join us in the bayou if you’re ready to worldbuild from the sacred site of your wholeness.
See you inside. 🖤

Just because you’re baker doesn’t mean you need to open a bakery. Just because you’re a designer doesn’t mean you need to start an agency. Just because you love to code doesn’t mean you need to found a start up.
In @seedaschool we protect your *passion* by teaching you how to charge for your *skills*.
🔗 Join us in the Erotic Engineering Retreat where we will synthesize your interdisciplinary skillset into a framework that is all your own. A methodology, process, or curriculum that you can sell to support the substance.
You’ll leave The Retreat with a 1-of-1 framework, offer and sales practice that can generate income in your creative ecosystem now and the years to come.
🕯️ Enrollment closes at midnight EST. Can’t wait to worldbuild with you inside.

I don’t “get paid to exist.” I get paid to do my job and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Why? Because it’s the most erotic job I could imagine.
What’s your framework for getting paid? What’s your erotic work? And who do you want to do it as?
🔗 Join us in the Erotic Engineering Retreat to answer these questions alongside your cohort creating their own income-generating offers inspired by a black feminist worldbuilding curriculum. Enrollment closes tomorrow, October 23rd.
DM if you have any last minute questions before joining us, I’d love to hear from you. 💌

I once had a coach tell me “if they can’t afford to pay what it costs for you to do your work and meet your needs, they are not your client” and that pissed me off so bad I almost ended the coaching relationship.
A couple years into business and eventually, I had to admit she was right.
I could do a newsletter, a podcast and perhaps even a workshop for free but I couldn’t do it all for free. At some point I had to remember “black feminist” was never code for “martyr”—that was my own stuff and my own story.
What lesson about exchanging your work, skills or business was the hardest to learn or unlearn?
🔗 Join us inside the Erotic Engineering Retreat, enrollment is open until this Friday, October 23rd. This 7-week journey is as much as a learning opportunity as it is an unlearning retreat. You’ll remember what you already knew and put yourself in the center of your practice in ways perhaps you hadn’t considered.
