I am the creator of Mama’s Boyz, an award-winning comic strip that has been distributed by King Features Syndicate since 1995, making me one of the few syndicated African-American cartoonists in the country. I've published two books, Mama's Boyz: As American as Sweet Potato Pie! and my newest one Mama’s Boyz: Home Schoolin’. both show the humorous and POSITIVE sides of the life of an African-American family. Fans of the book start at about 8 years old and go into adulthood. I pride myself on making a product that both kids AND their parents can read and enjoy.
I've done illustrations for Essence Magazine, comic books, greeting cards, book covers, and have recently illustrated my first children’s book called "Hillary's Big Business Adventure." Mama’s Boyz was also featured in Chicken Soup For The African American Soul.
