When Lightning Strikes 2 Launch Party

Join Next Step on Tuesday, January 27th from 7pm to 8pm EST for an exciting virtual gathering as we celebrate the release of our second comic book, When Lightning Strikes 2, created by and inspired by our incredible young people and artists. The story marks the return of Kara, the main character who lives with sickle cell, as she faces the next chapter of her journey—tackling new challenges, responsibilities, and possibilities ahead.
This event is your chance to go behind the scenes, hear how the comic came to life, and celebrate the creativity, resilience, and voices of the young people in our community.
