Chase your dreams!

Yeah it’s athletics season and we are totally feeling it. It’s easy to get caught up in those under 11seconds when the gun goes off and they power down the track. But going for glory doesn’t begin there.

@_tamikagibson captures the intense and emotional journey of aspiring athletes, when expectations and aspirations can morph into burdens and hurdles.

“A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.” Marcus Garvey

The journey toward completing this graphic novel on the life of Marcus Garvey is taking far longer than anticipated. But thrilled to be able to share our draft cover with you. Thrilled to be working with the amazing talents of @geoffreyphilp and @artworkbydjet to bring it to life.

More soon come.
