Producer and Content Creator Tya Barnes initially connected with Eugene Haynes, a Creative Producer with over 20 years of producing experience. During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic shutdown Gene serves as Project Advisor, supporting various collaborations with writers, directors, illustrators, musical artists, and voiceover talent. Tya then linked up with Hazard (Jarret Sizer) after watching him perform his musical skills virtually.
Hazard joined the business development team, connecting the production crew with Milk Boy Studio engineer Miles and independent engineer Manny (Baeo) to produce voice-overs and the soundtrack.
Dedicated Illustrator Rohan Giri joined our team simultaneously with Hazard, specifically drawing world-like bugs and unique Shonen-style illustrations, perfecting the vision of The Greener Grass Universe and Characters.
Tya’s attachment to community activism, STEAM education, and liberation connected Powerful Mindz Inc, a Philadelphia mindful STEM nonprofit, to provide service to partnering schools, community centers, and organizers to create their animated visions educating, celebrating, and uplifting Black life and resilience.
