"NIOBE: SHE IS LIFE" - AMANDLA STENBERG'S COMIC FOR GIRLS OF COLOR

Feeling Rebloggy

Activist Amandla Stenberg, 16 years old, says the world needs to read about more badass girl characters -- and she’s making it happen. 

Stenberg is using her talent to create an exciting new comic centered around the experiences of a young black warrior woman named Niobe Ayutami.

The comic, titled "NIOBE: She is Life," follows the protagonist on her adventures to help save the world. Along the way, Niobe, who is half elf and half human warrior, is also on a journey of self-discovery to find out exactly who she is and all the powerful things she can do.

In fact, Stenberg says Niobe's journey is very similar to her own.
