Chicago Bears linebacker Christian Jones brings African stories to life
Chicago Bears linebacker Christian Jones is making the most of his off-season by launching a new project that is aimed at bringing African stories to life.
CHICAGO - A Chicago Bears linebacker is focusing on history, off the football field.
Christian Jones and his wife Liz created Lymari Media, a company dedicated to telling the untold stories of African history through comic books, podcasts, animations, short films and documentaries.
They are working with a team of artists as well as an educator, who is making sure every detail is historically accurate.

"It's a company we started with a goal of distributing African history content in a variety of different formats, and it really just derived from a passion for world history and more specifically African history," said Liz.
Their first project, a comic book series titled "Queen Amani Renas – Protector of Nubia", debuts this month.
