Since its October release, I haven’t had much time to reflect on the publishing of Black Girl Mania: The Graphic Novel. Now, with a few 🌀’s out of the way, I’m happy to finally take some time to turn up with everyone who has supported the series in any way! Please join me Saturday, Feb 10 at Reunion Chicago in Humboldt Park for a lil fefe featuring some of my favorite art baes in the city. ♥ bria
