YOUNG GRANDMASTER CHOI LANDS IN THE KOREA MANHWA MUSEUM IN BUCHEON

SheroSquad — Mon, 24 Nov 2025 09:32:50 +0000

I’m happy to share some news that means a lot to me personally: the Young Grandmaster Choi books — along with the YGC doll — are now on display at the Korea Manhwa Museum in Bucheon, South Korea.

This is especially meaningful because the entire Rayven Choi universe began after a cultural exchange trip I took to South Korea 25 years ago while I was a student at North Carolina State University. That trip shaped my creative path, so seeing this story honored in a national museum in Korea feels like a true full-circle moment.

This year has already brought big blessings, including being honored by the Los Angeles Lakers and Comerica Bank with the Woman of Diversity Award and being selected to represent Los Angeles in the Intuit IDEAS Accelerator.

And more is on the way. This February during Black History Month, we’re launching a Kickstarter to complete the first full Young Grandmaster Choi volume and introduce new merch — including YGC hair bonnets, a coloring/activity book, and a brand new doll.

Please note that these personalized canvases will be limited and are ONLY available on day one of the campaign!

YOUNG GRANDMASTER CHOI BOOK II

SheroSquad — Fri, 24 May 2024 03:25:44 +0000

The next installment of Young Grandmaster Choi is on the way! We are super excited to announce that we have begun drawing the second book of Young Grandmaster Choi! We anticipate releasing the book in late August, just in time for the back-to-school bonanza!

This second book continues the adventures of the newly adopted Rayven Johnson-Choi as she adjusts to her new life in Seoul, Korea. In this second book, Rayven feels alienated after another classmate tries to bully her and reminds her that she’s not Korean. Rayven struggles to fit in until she attends a cultural festival and finds a bit of American history in South Korea that directly connects to her African American roots.

Below, you can get a sneak peek at our variant cover of Book II that honors the 2024 Olympics. Our artist, Qazz, provided us with some footage of how he pencils and inks the cover that our colorist Alivon splashes with her beautiful coloring.
