WE ARE LIVE: With Youth Author Miles Asberry-Wallace Part 1 of 3
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.
