His preferred mediums are comics, podcasts, and animation. He works on a web series called Eyelnd Feevr where he explores visual storytelling through animation, comics, and augmented reality. He lives by the motto: “Create and Conquer!” which means creating opportunities that overcome stereotypes and conquer adversity. He founded Iltopia Studios to give other Black voices a platform.
