*pokes head back on Tumblr* Hi yes hello! My Kickstarter for the second book in my series is now live! If you’re into black, queer, magical girls then this is, perhaps, your jam.
UPDATE: We have hit the 50% mark in less than 2 weeks!

Hey everyone! I’m gonna be a cosplay guest at Nebraskon and will also have my books and stuff there. AND! My mama will be there!!! So don’t be acting all crazy (I’m kidding we can still talk BakuDeku and BNHA in general)
There’s a city. It’s like most other cities. Buildings. People. Monsters who can destroy sidewalks by vomiting acid onto the ground, and an elite group of black, queer, magical girls who work to put those monsters in their place.
See? Just like most other cities.
Bree Danvers would’ve compared it to a video game, maybe a cartoon or comic book, except black girls are rarely the heroines of the story. But there her heroine stood, plus sized and wonderful, rocking a dazzling amount of purple and defeating monsters with galactic sparkles. Galactic Purple, that was her name, and soon, Bree was joining her on a magical adventure full of transformations and after school battles to defend a city like most other cities.
And soon, others would join them, and each one would be magical in their own way… give or take a few bumps on the acid covered ground.
Heeeeeey friends, I’m doing a cool as heck giveaway on Twitter since my book is gonna be a year old TOMORROW *gasp* so you should follow me (@BrichibiTweets) on Twitter to check it out!
Someday my book will be among these wonderful stories:
Website with info HERE! I’ll be in stores someday ❤️
I’m way too excited about San Japan this weekend! We haven’t been back in four years and we have so much stuff to show off! Queer books! Prints! Stickers! Buttons! Quilts! We’ll be at table F204 and I can’t wait to see all of you!
So Cosmic Green is one of the magical girls from my book “magnifiqueNOIR” and she’s a total geek, and since I’m waaaaay obsessed with “My Hero Academia” I drew her as Deku! Picture references on the right ☺️
RELEASE DAY IS HERE!
This time last year I was launching the Kickstarter for this little idea I had about a group of black, queer, magical girls. While the Kickstarter didn’t end up panning out, I told myself that I wouldn’t give up on the idea and that I’d finish the story and release it someday.
Today is that day.
“magnifiqueNOIR” is here and I am so thrilled to be presenting it to everyone!
If you’ve already preordered the book through the Indiegogo or our Etsy shop, you will be receiving it very soon! I got confirmation from UPS that the 15 boxes (yes, 15!) will be at my house this Friday! After that, I’ll be autographing all of them and then giving my post office a nightmare (just kidding, we already talked to them and came up with a plan).
If you haven’t ordered the book yet, now is your chance! Not just the physical copy, but the eBook as well! So here’s Bri’s somewhat comprehensive list of ways to have a little bit of black girl magic in your home, on your Kindle, and more important: in your hearts (boo Bri that was cheesy).
The super special awesomely autographed copy! Follow the link here to get a physical copy of the book autographed by yours truly! We have a limited amount of numbers before we order batch #2 of the book in time for fall season conventions!
The amazing Amazon physical copy! While it doesn’t come with my autograph, it is discounted for a limited time, and hey, free shipping through Prime is always nice!
Conventions! I’ll have a list of them up soon, but this Saturday, I’ll be at MSP Fall ComiCon at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds, so if you’re local, you can come and get a copy of the book from me in person!
Now comes the next part: promotion. If you are absolutely in love with the book, talk about it online! Use the hashtag #magnifiqueNOIR to share your love for these girls. Take pictures of your book/eBook, share this post everywhere, and definitely, most definitely, definitely definitely definitely LEAVE A REVIEW when you’re done reading! Let’s show the world that black girls with magical powers are spectacular!
As always, thank you from the bottom of my chubby black queer girl heart for all the support. When I came up with this idea last March, I had no idea it would grow so much. There may have been some hiccups along the way, but we’re here now, and you all are truly magical :)
HERE ARE ALL OF THE ATTACKS FEATURED IN THE FIRST BOOK FOR “magnifiqueNOIR”

This is the story of a geeky anime/gaming gal by the name of Chibi. Please fasten your seat belts and prepare for... some sort of ride? Oh! I love to write, and I also love doing crafty things. I go to conventions with my partner and sell woodburned things, clocks, mirrors, and more! So expect to see those on here too :)
