Story Engineer Shawn Taylor, a founding author of www.thenerdsofcolor.org, and a founding organizer of the Black Comix Arts Festival, first hit my radar at the 2019 IDS thanks to Mikhael Tara Garver. Shawn brought a perspective that was rooted in pluralism and the power of story to move people to action… and at that moment I knew I had to get him on the show/get him back on our stage.

Well, 2020 is being all 2020, so the chance to get him on the stage was taken from us for now, but we still find a way via the newly minted HERE Discord.
