Erika on the CON

Erika Interviews Amazing Creators at Conventions

I had a great interview with N. Steven Harris, co-creator of Ajala, where he talked about the importance of having a young black woman be the hero of the story and where he gets some of his artistic inspiration.

I had a fantastic chat with Marcus Williams of Tuskegee Heirs on comic book artwork and the influence of the real Tuskegee Airmen. 

Erika and Darrell close out the 3 day festival of BlerDCon. It was an amazing event and we will definitely be back next year. And Erika has certainly turned Darrel into a con-goer. He's hooked!!! "The Con for underrepresented populations in anime, gaming, cosplay, sci-fi, and comics!" Don't miss it next year!!

The exuberant Brian "Kaiser" Tillman talks about his artwork, his studio, and a little bit about how he became the artist he is today. 

I had a great conversation with the President of the DC Anime Club, Christopher Wanamaker, as he talks about the origin of the club and some of the great events they have going on throughout the year. 

The amazing Cheketa Tinsley talks about Strange Clouds: A Melanated Fantasy, her most recent book (it's fantastic!!!). Find in on Amazon 

Erika gets Darrell to talk about what he thinks Blerdcon is going to be like. He's never been to a convention before and Erika is getting a kick out of watching how surprised he is by everything. Don't miss it next year!! Blerdcon.com "The Con for underrepresented populations in anime, gaming, cosplay, sci-fi, and comics!"

I had a great conversation with M. Haynes about Legend of the Orange Scepter, the first book in his new young adult series. Don't miss it next year!!
