S2E2: Comics' Power, Promise and Transformative Potential (w/ Nerds of Color's Shawn Taylor)
Description
On the second episode of season two, Mike speaks with Shawn Taylor from The Nerds of Color about his passion for comics.
Shawn Taylor is a lifelong science fiction, fantasy, and comic book fan. He is a founding author of www.thenerdsofcolor.org, and a founding organizer of the Black Comix Arts Festival. His passion for stories of other worlds led him to an obsession with role-playing games, eventually becoming a paid Dungeon Master for many Dungeons and Dragons campaigns. In high school, he organized a live action D&D battle in his school’s cafeteria. He was suspended for two days for orchestrating the battle, but some folks still talk about it as a highlight of their high school experience.
