Speaking on Artful Mysteries
Featured Guests: Ijeoma Asonye and Imani Okwuosa
This week we have the pleasure of hearing a conversation between Mentee Alum Imani Okwuosa and Mentee Ijeoma Asonye as they dive into an excerpt from Ijeoma’s forthcoming graphic novel, Allergy Girl. They touch on everything from FX’s The Bear to why Ijeoma calls herself the human hummingbird to the theme of belonging. We hope you enjoy this high-spirited discussion about art, being an Issa Rae, and writing anti-heroes.
