I am a cartoonist currently working with Scholastic and First Second to create stories full of adorable art. I’m very inspired by 90’s cartoons and Anime. I love pink. I want to fill the world with stories of adorable Black girls living magical lives.

Mimi and the Cutie Catastrophe

Meet Mimi. She's charming! She's cheerful! She's cute!

But that's not all! She's also a loyal friend and fun playmate, who has the best adventures with Penelope, her magical toy dog. But when Mimi notices people treating her like she's too cute, can she show them that she's much more than meets the eye? Or will she be stuck in this cute-astrophe?

Mimi and the Boo-Hoo Blahs

Boo-hoo! Mimi is not having a good day. She can't get her pigtails to sit right, she's not in the mood for her favorite breakfast, and she's far from feeling like her usual self... Mimi has a case of the Blahs, where nothing feels quite right. So with the help of Penelope, her magical toy dog and best friend, she sets out to find a way to get rid of this icky feeling. Will Mimi reclaim her spark, or will the Blahs get the best of her?

History Comics: Rosa Parks & Claudette Colvin

A Black woman who refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus sparked a bus boycott and became part of one of the most iconic moments in American history. Yet, few know that Rosa Parks had actively worked toward social justice her whole life. And even fewer know that the seeds of the statewide bus boycott were first planted by a teenager named Claudette Colvin, who was arrested on similar charges months earlier. Rosa Parks and Claudette Colvin inspired a nation, showing how positive change can start with a single defiant act.
