Young Grandmaster Choi on Display in the Korea Manhwa Museum

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.
