You d think a spot to chill chat and find community would be much easier to come by for nerdy queer punks.

The group puts a call out for all awkward Black folks to come on down to the community center to connect. But low attendance and IRL run - ins with trolls of all kinds only rock everybody with anxiety. As our protagonists start to question the merits of their vision a lifetime of insecurities about not being good enough or Black enough bubbles to the surface. Will they find a way to turn it around in time for their radical brainchild the Blackward Zine Fest? Lawrence Lindell's characters pop from the page in playful Technicolor. From mental health to romance micro and macro aggressions to joy our crew tackles everything life throws at them in this heartwarming tale about building a place to belong and the power of community.
