For our second episode of Rewriting the Rules® Season 3, we’re launching a three-episode series resulting from SPYS’ Podcast “LIVE” Event Recording held on Wednesday, February 7th. The youth-led event explored the power of dreams, the power of our stories, and the power of a beloved community that wraps its arms around one inspiring Black young man named Miles.
For this first episode, Guest Host Connor Walford interviews youth author & illustrator Miles Asberry-Wallace about publishing his first comic book, "Kings of Quests: A Tale of Bros.” Join us to connect the dots between Miles writing “mini” comic books for fun at 5 years old to publishing his first Comic Book (still) for fun at 12 years old.
About Miles Asberry-Wallace:
Miles Asberry-Wallace is a young black man who was born on February 7, 2011, and lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He started drawing comics at five years old and made his first comic series, Miles TGM and the Giant Zombie. He loved making comics so much that he started selling them at school. He now has a comic book business named Stickman Legacy.
About Guest Host Connor Walford:
Connor Walford is in the 7th grade and is Miles Asberry-Wallace’s best friend.
