Are you going crazy trying to identify a profitable niche? You can find rich, untapped markets just by spotting where your own culture is being overlooked.
Basi White did exactly that. He never saw Black superheroes in the comics world, so he started the first Black-owned comic production company in Iowa.
Basi, born as Aniekan, started off young and began writing in first grade. As he gained awareness of the travesties in the world around him, his writing began to speak to the issues he felt called to stand against. As a lover of science fiction and fantasy, he strived to speak on real-life issues through the medium of storytelling while also giving his fellow humans a world to escape into.
He married at 21 years old and soon after, he and his wife had their first child, Azriel, after whom the main character of his comic series is named.
Understanding the responsibilities of being a husband and father, he joined the Army National Guard as a Religious Affairs Specialist with the hopes of being able to help soldiers cope with life trauma both from military experiences as well as issues every human being faces.
Now he’s partnering with pro race car driver Colin Garrett for his next exciting project.
