Black Anime Lost Chill-dren of the Diaspora is an art book comprised of 94 pages of original black anime content. The book is split into 4 sections: Original characters, Future stories, Fan-art, and growth. All the characters themselves are just as diverse and different as the different types of black people all over the world, which I felt like I didn't see.

In 2014 I made a vow to myself to draw every day no matter what. The more I drew, something started to occur to me. Most if not all of the characters I drew were White or Japanese and if I did draw a black person he wasn't intended to be the main character.

In 2016 I decided that I would get out of my comfort zone and only draw predominantly black people. The more I drew, the more I realized something was still off–my characters were missing a spark. That spark was the tie-in of black culture and mythology. I determined that all of my characters and stories would draw from African mythology and the African diaspora. Unknowingly this was the start of Black Anime Lost Chill-dren of the Diaspora.
