Find out more about Gary and Ja'Vieon below:

Gary André Bradley

Gary André Bradley is a self-published writer and artist living in Jackson, Tennessee, and a huge fan of comic books and superheroes. Power G is the superhero he created years ago when he was a child, the character being a fictionalized version of himself that stems from his love of the genre. Gary would go on to create various comics with Power G as the main character for years.

He attended The University of Memphis in Memphis, Tennessee, where he received his Bachelor of Arts degree in English/Creative Writing in 2008. While attending, he briefly had his humor strip, Cool Catt, published in the school's newspaper, The Daily Helmsman.

Pursuing his career in writing and comics, Gary later decided to present Power G to the public. The first issue of a new ongoing series, which includes a new origin for Power G, was released in 2022 and is available in physical and digital formats on Amazon, Google Play Books, and Indyplanet.com.

Ja'Vieon Z. Bradley

Ja'Vieon Z. Bradley is a 17-year-old junior from Jackson, Tennessee who attends JCM-Early College High.

Finding a love for comics, manga, and anime at an early age, the young creator came up with the first draft of his manga-inspired comic Oneiro all the way back in the 7th grade, after being inspired by various science-fiction stories and learning about the concept of lucid dreaming.

Ja'Vieon put his own spin on these concepts, and along with his original ideas, he self-published the current version of Oneiro in 2023, with Chapter One of the ongoing series available in physical and digital formats on Amazon and Indyplanet.com.

Hub City Now: Interview with Kerri Lee Alexander

November 29, 2020 Uncategorized

In this episode of "Hub City Now" host Tyrone Tony Reed Jr. interviewed Kerri Lee Alexander about the legendary Bessie Coleman, the first African American woman and the first Native American to hold a pilot license.

As the month of November closes out, I wanted to highlight three of its monthly observances: National Native American Heritage Month, National Inspirational Role Models Month and Aviation History Month and Bessie Coleman fit into all three observances.

After coming across a wonderful article on Coleman by Alexander for the National Women's History Museum, I reached out to Alexander to be a guest on the show. Alexander also fits the National Inspirational Role Models Month observance.

Alexander is a Ph.D. student in U.S. History at Howard University. She also serves as a Teaching Assistant for the History Department and Howard’s inaugural Graduate Student Mentor for the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship, in partnership with The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Kerri was also the 2018-2020 Education and Public History Fellow at the National Women’s History Museum where she curated content for the museum’s online platform and assisted in the creation of public programming focused on the contributions of American women. Kerri’s research has been circulated widely, including her digital exhibit on Sojourner Truth that was featured on the homepage of Google.com to kick off Black History Month last year. Kerri holds a Bachelor of Science in Arts Administration (Nonprofit Management) from Wagner College, and a Master of Arts in Theological Studies from Princeton Theological Seminary.
