Stafford Battle is an Instructional Designer at a Medical School on the East Coast of the USA. In that capacity, he has helped to incorporate online learning into traditional med school education. He also is a published author and freelance writer. He enjoys blogging and interacting with other writers and readers online. He promotes speculative fiction that embraces a diverse and more comprehensive worldview of the different people and cultures that influence our future.
He believes that exposure to diverse speculative arts can encourage people to look beyond their day-to-day lives and local social environment. An article he wrote appeared in the New Pittsburgh Courier called "Science Fiction can rescue Black communities". He also appeared in The Dallas Weekly for a story he wrote called "Why I Became an AFROFuturist". Stafford Battle was interviewed on WURD 900 AM, an African American talk radio station in Philadelphia. The host Dr. Richard M. Cooper and Battle discussed Afrofuturism and why it is important. He has appeared in many other venues to discuss the importance of the AFROCentric perspective in modern literature. According to Stafford, "Science Fiction and Fantasy are a significant aspect of the Black experience in literature, art, film, music and performance. AFROFuturism is an expression of optimism for the 21st Century for all people."
