Blex Media Reluctantly Presents 'This Might Get Me Canceled'

Building 'The Comic Shop' From Scratch: Cheyenne Ewulu on Creating Outside the System | TMGMC Podcast

Blex Media Season 1 Episode 2

In this episode of This Might Get Me Canceled, Sharifa Daniels sits down with writer, director, and unapologetic Black nerd Cheyenne Ewulu—the creator behind The Comic Shop, one of the most successfully crowdfunded TV pilots on Kickstarter.

Cheyenne breaks down the real reason she walked away from traditional gatekeepers and what it took to build her own lane from scratch—no reps, no fancy access, just community, creativity, and pure grind. We talk about going viral with purpose, building a world that reflects Black nerd culture without compromise, and why showing up every day made all the difference.

This one is for the creators, the visionaries, and anyone who's tired of waiting to be picked.

🔹 Why Cheyenne almost scrapped The Comic Shop
🔹 How she raised over $100K through intentional storytelling
🔹 The power of showing up online—consistently
🔹 What visibility means for Black nerds in TV
🔹 Why originality isn’t dead—it’s just underfunded

If you’ve ever felt unseen in this industry or unsure about going indie, this conversation is your sign to bet on yourself.
