Starting his career as an intern at Marvel Entertainment, Kwanza worked his way up in the comics industry to eventually launch DC Comics' first webcomics imprint, and drafted the blueprints for their digital comics initiative. He recently made a splash in the creative pool launching a crowdfund for what became the critically acclaimed BLACK - a graphic novel that asked the question: what if only black people had superpowers?
LIBRARY JOURNAL -- In Black, Osajyefo debuted a universe in which
only black people have superpowers. Immediately factions spring up
among both blacks and whites that attempt to harness these
abilities for different purposes. To benefit a single race only? To
help society? As a military tool of the state? Admiration, hate,
and fear sweep the country. This new story introduces superpowered
teen Eli Franklin, caught among the different parties, her
heritage, and her own loyalties. A third story about human
trafficking, Black [AF]: Widows and Orphans, is still being
released as single issues. All make fine discussion-starters for
teens and adults.
