## Resource

Alim Leggett joins The USDN Podcast to discuss his LIVE Kickstarter campaign for The Diary of Sweet Pea #3 . At the center of the story is Imani Williams, a young girl whose powers are triggered by grief, trauma, and emotional intensity. These abilities manifest subconsciously, acting as both protection and danger as her world expands beyond a personal story into something far more complex. In this episode, we explore: • The emotional foundation of Sweet Pea • How trauma influences storytelling and character design • The progression from issue #1 through #3 • Kickstarter strategy and backer value • Why creator-owned comics matter 🚀 Back the campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sweetpeacomic/the-diary-of-sweet-pea-1-3 Follow Sweet Pea Comic: https://www.facebook.com/sweetpeacomic https://www.instagram.com/sweetpea_comic/ Follow USDN Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@USDN_Podcast https://linktr.ee/USDN_Podcast 💼 Collector Tip of the Week Protect your collection with BCW Supplies: https://www.bcwsupplies.com/?acc=usdn Use code USDN at checkout Affiliate Disclosure: USDN may earn a small commission if you use our affiliate link or code.
