So when I read through your story, read about these girls and how it was about some Black kids just doing the most mundane things, I think I did a happy dance. I knew it was going to be a lot of work, but I had been praying to be given the opportunity to tackle a story that didn’t purely revolve around Black trauma since that’s mainly what I was being sent and it was taking a huge toll on me. I was a little scared I had just thrown away my chance at doing a graphic novel, but then Twins came along. I read it, I thought about it, but after sitting with it some, the premise was too heavy for me. I kid you not, but maybe a week or two before, I got hit up to do another graphic novel. It felt like the most me thing and I was just in love with everything about it. I mean, also the fact it was Scholastic, but it was mainly your summary that did it. In terms of what made me take on this project, it was mainly the summary. Shannon Wright: Haha! Look, I’m always wondering if I made a mistake, just in general. what made you want to take on this project? And when you got all 240-something pages of my script, were you wondering if you’d made a mistake?
