Letter to readers: Dear Black Boy
As a writer and illustrator, it is MY belief that your pen is an extension of who you are, what comes out on the other side is you. For me creating is an act of self discovery.
Something spiritual occurs each time I return from the unmanifested world of my imagination and pour the treasure trove of words, colors, images, and characters that I discovered during this creative journey onto blank sheets of paper.
Black AMerican Futurism
Black American Futurism is a philosophy of thought that is rooted in enabling and empowering the Black American imagination. Unlike Afrofuturism, which often focuses on speculative and imaginative futures, Black American Futurism is about both imagining and actively building those futures.
