“No one person can take credit for the success of a motion picture. It’s strictly a team effort. From the time the story is written to the time the final release print comes off the printer, hundreds of people are involved — each one doing a job — each job contributing to the final product.” — Walt Disney

“As a business leader in Silicon Valley, I have even changed courses to weather this storm, becoming an animation movie executive producer and owner of Bolaji Animation Production Studios (BAPS). This year, I released my first NFT inspired by my animated children's book series Akiti the Hunter, bringing the connection between literary work, animation, art and technology.” Forbes Magazine
“ What started with innocent yet intriguing observations of her young son during a trip to the bookstore has turned into a new superhero of color who is diversifying what power and mystique look like in the world of fantasy and action: Akiti the Hunter.” - Black Enterprise
“It is in the spirit of celebrating women that we recognize the efforts of Denise Mobolaji Ajayi-Williams, the next generation of social influencer, and an iconic woman on the RISE...The book scored the author recognition from Harvard University Coop, Library of Congress, NAACP Author’s Pavilion, Forbes Africa, and has sold out in-store story time throughout Barnes & Noble’s Stores.” – The Huffington Post
“Ajayi-Williams believes everyone should view themselves as heroic no matter their place of origin. Her goal is to bring an authentic African hero into American pop culture.” Oakland Post Newspaper

“This is a blaring signal that a new reconnection between Africa and the African Diaspora that is African-Americans can possibly yield financial and cultural gains that have not been seen since before the African slave trade is emerging. This is why it is important that ‘Black Panther’ does not become the only successful African film. We need more African superheroes such as Akiti The Hunter to push this revolution. “ CNBC Africa
