Celebrating Black LEGO Creators

Late last year I bought two books cheap from my fave mail-order bookstore, hamiltonbook.com: Beasts from Bricks by Building Black: Civilizations creator Ekow Nimako and Brick X Brick by Adam Ward, who did Lego Masters USA building tips videos on Lego's official YouTube channel last year.

Both these Lego artists/creators are men of African descent, and the Lego website has Nimako featured on a page called "Celebrate Black Creators." In 2021, I had a profile article and interview with Nimako published on the Brick Architect website.

Just in time for Black History Month, the Brick Architect has published my review of Nimako’s and Ward’s books that compares their differences in content, style and target audience, plus one favorite build from each book. I am so happy to have found another topic to write about for the Brick Architect; I am especially proud to publicize the work of Lego lovers of the African Diaspora like me.
