Black Canada Talking™ is a live online event that provides Black Canadians opportunity to give their takes and POVs on stories that are of importance to them.
Our guest on the April 3, 2022 episode of Black Canada Talking™ was Kelvin Nyeusi-Mawazo (pronounced “Nigh – ooo – see” – “Ma – wah – zo”). Kelvin is an author, illustrator, and owner of the publishing company named Black Sun Comics.
They create Afrofuturist comics and graphic novels. Their books mix science, technology, magic & monsters with the timeless sophistication of black & white fine art.
Set in an alternate universe on a planet named Alkebulan, Black Sun: The Longest Night is a graphic novel series that follows a group of unlikely heroes who must band together to reclaim their world from a ruthless, invading alien armada.
Born and raised in Toronto (GTA), Canada, Kelvin uses the skills he’s acquired as a Photographer, Front-end Web Developer, and College Instructor to digitally illustrate his books and teach others how to do the same via his YouTube channel.
He is a self-proclaimed nerd, lover of science fiction, lo-fi instrumental Hip Hop, post-apocalyptic movies, and retro gaming.
