PREVIEW- (H)AFROCENTRIC Vol 2 by Juliana "Jewels" Smith
My dude Tres recently told me about this comic (H)afrocentric by Juliana Smith and illustrator Ronald R. Nelson.
Here's the Sales Pitch:
It’s The Boondocks Huey Freeman meets X-Men’s Professor X as(H)afrocentric heroine
Naima Pepper attempts to thwart the growing gentrification in her new
neighborhood. Naima and friends, and her reluctant brother, decide to
create MYDIASPORA.COM,
the first and only anti-gentrification social networking site on earth.
Through a series of fundraising events, they manage to lay the
groundwork to support their idea, movement and website. But will their
efforts be able to stop gentrification?
Juliana "Jewels" Smith tours the country speaking about the possibilities of independent media through comics, and the historical and practical in and outs of making funny books. Her latest comic (H)afrocentric Vol 2 drops April 10. If I ever get my gallery idea off the ground, she's definitely gonna be invited to lecture! Until then, get more of Jewels via hafrocentric.com.
holla!
