Short Stories: Comic Books ft. Nehemiah Russell

For this latest episode, we spend time interviewing guest author Nehemiah Russell! Local to the DMV (or DC area for you non-locals), Nehemiah is the author and illustrator of Codename, a manga style comic book set in a dystopian world where a teenager’s future is determined by their assigned codename. We talk to Nehemiah about his journey as an artist and writer, his storyboarding process, the importance of identity, and much more! We left our conversation feeling inspired not only by the story behind Codename but also by Nehemiah’s own path as an artist. If you’re seeking validation to take a leap of faith, whether it’s a career change or starting a new passion project, this is certainly an episode to listen to.
