Indie Insights: Emilio Velez Jr. | The Dodgeball Teens
We sit down with Emilio Velez Jr., the award-winning writer and illustrator behind The Dodgeball Teens.

With his mother’s support and years of hard work, he transformed his dream into reality—creating twelve issues and a graphic novel—while spreading a message of perseverance through his work as a motivational speaker.
