Spotlight on Festival Fave Mari Naomi & Her New Book of Graphic Vignettes
We were so lucky to have artist Mari Naomi participate in the inaugural Mixed Remixed Festival. And now we’re excited to tell you about her new book of graphic vignettes which will be out in September.
Dragon’s Breath is an exciting new work you don’t want to miss. In Dragon’s Breath, “MariNaomi explores a wide spectrum of topics including youthful rebellion, mortality, disillusionment, and compassion. These poignant stories, some filled with hope, others tinged with remorse, are sure to appeal to even the most discerning reader.”
LA-based folks! You can catch Mari at Skylight Books (the Festival’s official bookseller) September 26, 2014(Friday), 7:30 p.m. for her book release party and reading. Free admission. See you there! Skylight Books, 1818 N. Vermont Ave., Los Angeles.

Kim Wayans: A Festival Fave is on CBS’s Reckless
Today, we want to put the spotlight on the beautiful and talented Kim Wayans. Kim and her husband Kevin Knotts are generous donors and supporters of the Mixed Remixed Festival. In addition to her support of the Festival, she has done her fair share of shedding light on multicultural issues.
One way she has shed light on biracial issues is by teaming up with her husband to write a book series titled Amy Hodgepodge. The book series features a multiracial girl and the obstacles she must face growing up being Asian, Caucasian, and African American. The series starts out when Amy starts fourth grade after being home-schooled for years. If you want to read more information on the series or purchase a copy of the book for yourself, click here.
You can catch Kim in action on Reckless airing on CBS. Reckless is a dramatic series filled with crime. Kim’s character is probably not what you would expect from the roles she has played in the past, but fans will definitely not be disappointed in her performance. Kim plays Vi Briggs a strong-willed paralegal with a great sense of humor. Kim Wayans recently did an interview regarding her character, Vi Briggs, and the show with ABC News. You can read the whole interview here. You can catch the latest episode of Reckless on Sundays at 10/9 central on CBS.
If you want more information about what Kim Wayans has been up to, check out her website: here.
You can also follow her on Twitter.
