THE DR. VIBE SHOW™ - BLACK CANADA TALKING™ - APRIL 3 - 2022

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.
