The Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder has published my profile of African American comic publisher Basi Affia and his company Sensi’il Studios. Because I had to take a 3,000-word interview transcript and chop it down to an 800-word article, I’m publishing a part two of my interview with the Iowan entrepreneur here on my blog.

Basi Affia sought me out to interview him after finding this MSR article I wrote years ago about the Black presence at MSP ComicCon. I am honored and flattered by his choosing me to profile him.
