Superpowers, Supernatural Reads, and 6Q w/poet and activist Lindo

This week, I'm diving into fresh reads and animated adventures. (1:03) I just wrapped Blood at the Root—not flawless, but compelling enough that I’m on board for the sequel later this year. I’ve also started A Blade So Black by LL McKinney, described as Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Alice in Wonderland—and yes, it’s as intriguing as it sounds.

On the screen side, Iyanu is the new animated superhero series to keep an eye on. Set in the richly imagined Yorubaland, it blends Nigerian culture, mythology, and music with an Avatar: The Last Airbender vibe.

(4:58) To round things out, I sit down with spoken word artist and activist Lindo for “6 Questions.” Known for performances at Bucknell University and Def Poetry Jam, Lindo’s fusion of poetry and visual storytelling continues with his upcoming graphic novel Pawn Shop, now available for pre-order.
