This season, the Bulls hosted a discussion about the importance of amplifying African history and storytelling at Semicolon Bookstore & Gallery – a Black woman owned bookstore and art gallery in Wicker Park.
On April 22, the Bulls hosted a fireside chat at Semicolon Bookstore & Gallery with Lymari Media and Bulls Legend Luol Deng, celebrating the launch of the graphic novel Queen Amani Renas: Protector of Nubia with students from Chicago Bulls College Prep and Urban Prep Academies.
At the event, Christian and Liz Jones who founded Lymari Media – a collective of Black storytellers, entertainment professionals and scholars whose goal is to make African history exciting for all and who created and published the graphic novel – discussed the importance of telling African stories in a positive and affirmative light.
