Micah Johnson
Micah Johnson, a former Major League Baseball player, is the creator of the phenomenon that is Aku. After overhearing a young boy ask his mom if astronauts could be Black, Micah was inspired to create Aku, a 3D animated boy wearing an oversized astronaut helmet. That same year, Micah created a fine art piece that catapulted him from retired athlete to creator of the “2020 NFT of the Year.” Aku: Journey to Ibra is Aku’s origin story and Micah’s first book. He lives in Maine with his wife and daughter.
