Omilani was present at Beyond comicon making a debut with a number of new books, comics and surprises - in this comicon debut! There was a lot of love at the omilani table and I can’t wait to share what is next for Omilani and the new adventures.
The coolest part of comicon was being among the most awesome community of creative artists and designers. I even met darth vader and cwewbacca! There were so many people in cosplay and even cosplay designers to meet.
People of all ages shared in the love for comic books and colorful creative art. Hmmmm.... I wonder if next time I should try to cosplay as AfroFilipina

OMILANI is an AfroFilipina powerhouse blending art, scholarship, and advocacy. A summa cum laude graduate of Cornell University, she launched her career with a Fulbright Hays Fellowship in Nigeria, followed by some advanced studies in Classical Art and Architecture at the University of Cambridge. Her global fieldwork spans France, the Caribbean, South America, and beyond.
Dubbed in her youth as a “precocious figure on the spoken word scene” by The Source Magazine, Omilani’s performances captivate audiences with a mix of neo-soul, folkloric expressions, hip-hop, and tropical fusion. With comparisons to KZ Tandingan, Macy Gray, Erykah Badu, and Lauryn Hill, she’s been a dynamic force on stage since the age of seven.
As the founder of the Latinegras and AfroFilipina brands, Omilani continues to break boundaries as a performing artist, runway model, advocate, philanthropist, and scholar. A top 7 GRAMMY Showcase Finalist, fluent in five languages, and a world traveler, she continues to leave her mark through scholarly publications, albums, and unforgettable performances worldwide.
