For my senior thesis project, I completed a short, digital graphic novel featuring an Afro-witch. The story is about a witch whose mission is to retrieve a valuable family heirloom, a necklace that was stolen by her ex-girlfriend and sold off to the ex’s boss --a powerful, and dangerous collector & trader.
This missing necklace has been passed down from generation to generation, and holds matriarchal ancestral powers -which can be dangerous if it gets into the wrong hands. The power the heirloom holds is as a result of her ancestry.
I wanted to connect ancestral sacredness to the power of my character’s bloodline, a common trait i’ve seen used in the works afrofuturists, like Octavia Butler.
