I’m proud to announce my first book ‘Weirdo’ being published by @01FirstSecond and illustrated by @JesnCin . In a world that doesn’t value black lives, I feel a responsibility to create stories that show just how spectacular and magical they are.

Akira Toriyama got into manga hoping to make a quick buck in a competition. But when his first published story was voted the worst in a reader survey, he took that personally, and said he wouldn't stop until he wrote a hit. Over 10 stories later we got Dragon Ball. NEVER QUIT

Disney is not “making” anime. They’re buying licensing rights for anime titles. Just like Netflix didn’t “make” Beastars or Way of The Househusband. And Amazon didn’t “make” the new Evangelion movies. I feel like that’s an important distinction to make.
