An interactive discussion with Storyboard Artist Aaron Brewer who will share his pathway to a successful career in animation artistry.
Representation is Power! While developing identity and sense of self, it is essential for Black and Brown youth to see positive and successful African-Americans in leadership roles. Having the opportunity to see, interact, and learn from thriving African-Americans will serve as a source of inspiration in the pursuit of greatness.
