Tola is the moment!!

Have you all seen Iwájú? It's pretty good, and I hope it gets another season to properly explore the advancement of technology in Lagos and fixing the classism that takes place throughout the series.

screenshots of a cartoon called supa team 4 based in Lusaka, Zambia. aesthetically very solarpunk don't you think?

we got the classic tree-in-buildings! (only really doable in theory because where would the roots go?) we have many trees and colourful buildings!

this is the school shown from above

bonus hoverboarding from one of the protagonists

anyways go watch it i guess; s2 just came out on netflix and it's 4 schoolgirls doing superhero-type stuff!

more art for my upcoming book. COOK LIKE YOUR ANCESTORS is half cookbook, half guide to intuitive cooking, with family recipes ranging from the Navajo nation to Brazil, from Cambodia to Yemen and beyond, beyond~

this is for postcards (& some very limited run posters!) that will come with orders of the book. tried hard to sum up what the book is about and I think I got it.... happy with this one.

image description below the cut~

(see more things from me via my newsletter, patreon, insta & twitter)

IMAGE DESCRIPTION: an illustration of two people donned in white, vaguely west african traditional dress. one is young and light skinned, the other older and dark skinned, though they are clearly relatives. they gaze into one another’s eyes while standing in a bluish starlit cosmic landscape. their hands hold up a massive wooden spoon holding the planet earth, and reach toward one another’s. gold bordered boxes flank their sides. they contain hands in movement, ginger, tamarind, garlic, curry leaves, flames and other ingredients. below their feet in gold text reads: COOK LIKE YOUR ANCESTORS by mariah-rose marie

hi sorry ive never been to disneyland SPLASH MOUNTAIN IS BASED ON SONG OF THE SOUTH?????

this is probably one of those things that most people know because its so popular but jfc WHY

#whats even the thematic connection #ive watched song of the south #it doesnt particularly have any water in it #im ASSUMING the ride is based on like. just the folklore bits right #not the weird intensely boring wildly racist live action bits?#cause i know disney keeps trying to repackage those cartoon bits and divorce it from the racism but tbh theyre pretty not great too #its a white racists idea of african american folklore its hardly well represented

Here's former US President Barack Obama in a tan suit. https://wp.me/pLP9Y-5ed #BarackObama #President #USA #tansuit #kidlit #kidlitart #artsample #USPresident #44 #blackhistory

Here’s former US President Barack Obama in a tan suit. I drew this as part of a larger project for Learning A-Z. You might remember that there was a brief, silly controversy about President Obama wearing this tan suit because on a slow news day some people thought it did not look presidential. Originally, this illustration had him in a black suit, but the client was concerned that the project…

Iyanu, Child of Wonder 🇳🇬

So, Cartoon Network & HBO Max just greenlit a new Nigerian show today!!

I’m really excited about this. I’m happy that the entertainment industry is starting to showcase & are developing more black centric stories with African mythology. It’s been needed for a LONG time.

“Iyanu: Child of Wonder, is a superhero tale set in the magical kingdom of Yorubaland, which draws from Nigerian culture & mythology. Iyanu, a teenage orphan who spends her days studying Yoruba history and ancient arts. One day, responding to danger, she unknowingly triggers her divine powers, that had not been seen since the Age of Wonders. With newly discovered superpowers, Iyanu joins forces with two other teenagers as they embark on a remarkable journey to discover the truth about the evil lurking in her homeland. Throughout her adventure, she’ll uncover the truth about her past, her parents, and her ultimate destiny to save the world. The series is created by Roye Okupe.”

I’m getting a vibe that it’s gonna be more kid-friendly, but will have serious storyline. I’m thinking something like Kipo & The Age of Wonderbeasts meets Avatar: The Last Airbender, but with African mythology & an entirely unique story. YESSSS I CAN’T WAIT!! Definitely gonna read the books now.

Update: SERIES COMING IN 2024

I come from a long line of people who raised hogs, smoked them in the earth as technique inherited from indigenous kin (who - more broadly - introduced the west to the method: more on that here!) and seasoned them beautifully.

so pork specifically meant a lot to my family... but it is also undeniably tied to hereditary health problems...

so here's a story on how we departed from that, what tradition even is, and what it means to me now ft the humble black eyed pea, for EATER!

some of my favorite panels:

find the recipe for Yoruba àkàrà in my new book, COOK LIKE YOUR ANCESTORS <3
