Grom Social Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: GROM) BREAKING NEWSCelebrated Montana Poet Laureate M. L. Smoker teams up with Curiosity Ink Media and Dynamite ntertainment to Author Graphic Novel Series Thunderous Curiosity Ink Media – the family entertainment engine for Grom Social Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: GROM), has secured Montana Poet Laureate M.L. Smoker to write and consult for the Thunderous graphic novel series, debuting in partnership with publisher Dynamite Entertainment in April 2022. Her co-writer on the project is Natalie Peeterse, also a poet and independent publisher. The original, new intellectual property (IP) franchise follows the unexpected adventures of an indigenous teen’s journey into a special world where new friends and foes are discovered. In this unpredictable and sometimes perilous venture she learns to more fully appreciate, embrace, and champion her family’s proud heritage. The graphic novel will debut in tandem with Independent Book Store Day, a national celebration of independent bookstores to be held on Saturday, April 30. The announcement was made today by Curiosity Ink Media’s EVP & Publisher, Jon Rosenberg.

 

Curiosity’s alliance with Smoker and Peeterse builds on the company’s mission to identify and share authentic stories and voices from various milieus. The company recently announced a slate of diverse programming, including new musical preschool series, Aloha Hōkū, based on the songs and spirit of Hawaiian ukulele player Honoka Katayama. Smoker, a member of the Nakoda, Dakota, Lakota tribe is currently Poet Laureate for the state of Montana. Her free verse poems focus on personal loss and identity and engage Native American history, language, and culture.

 

“Forming alliances with indigenous cultural leaders allows us to share stories that are routinely overlooked in popular culture and have the potential to be transformative for young readers,” said Rosenberg.  “M.L. Smoker brings an unparalleled authenticity and artistry to storytelling that will bring richness, heart and soul to this new franchise.”

 

“The importance of new narratives that are formed from the creativity, resilience and power of Native American communities are necessary to correct the pervasive and damaging stereotypes, misconceptions and ideas that exist in this country about us,” said Smoker.  “I hope this is a story that resonates for many children and, in particular, that some Native youth will see themselves reflected in literature and believe they can be their own authors, painters, musicians, and creators in the future. Because representation matters.”

 

“Dynamite is proud to work with so many writers, artists and partners from diverse backgrounds, as our primary goal is to help facilitate and deliver unique compelling stories across all media to fans,” added Nick Barrucci, Dynamite CEO & Publisher. “I personally can’t wait to read more of Thunderous and what Smoker and the team have crafted, and for many others to experience this wonderful tale.”

 

Smoker served as Montana’s Director of Indian Education for nearly a decade and, in 2015, was named the Indian Educator of the Year in addition to being appointed to the National Advisory Council on Indian Education by President Barack Obama. She currently works at Education Northwest as a practice expert in Indian Education. She received a regional Emmy award for her work as a writer/consultant on the PBS documentary Indian Relay.   CONTINUED…  For more information about Grom Social Enterprises please visit https://gromsocial.com/
