Harambee Hills – The webcomic by Kerry G. Johnson

About Harambee Hills
Harambee Hills is a diverse webcomic that follows the life observations of Gerard and those of his modern African-American family, co-workers and wacky neighbors of Harambee Hills, a fictional suburban neighborhood outside Washington, D.C. The webcomic’s characters often provide commentary on pop culture, entertainment, sports and top news stories.

The creative minds behind this webcomic
Kerry and his wife, Tawanda, co-writer of Harambee Hills, a press secretary and media specialist, live in Columbia, Md., with their two children.

Human Resources Director

Gerard used to work on the other side of corporate America, but left that job to spend more time with his family. But after each day at the Harambee, he’s tempted to go back to the “man’s” world.

HR Administrative Assistant
Amy’s from a small town in the Midwest and it was not a very diverse community. All her knowledge of black folk came from watching MTV and the “Tyra Banks Show”.

Information Technology Manager
Because of his stocky, compact stature, everyone calls him by his childhood nickname, “Bump”! He’s a whiz with the computer and frequently saves the day … even if it’s with duct tape.

Chief Executive Officer
Mr. Bossman, he’s well-educated, clever and cool as ice. Bossman always comes dressed “fly”. He’s a preacher at his church on the weekends. Alaska Gov. Sara Palin and Supreme Court Judge Clarence Thomas are his heroes.

Customer service representative
RaShonda is an optimistic, religious spirit. She’s a multi-tasking, single mother with inspirations to be a caterer. She’s waiting on the Big Lotto to hit, then she’s outta here.

Mailroom supervisor
Toehead separates and delivers mail. But since that only takes about an hour a day, he spends the rest of the day creating utterly useless inventions.

Morale Committee Chairman
Tom is a good ole boy and a bit old-school. He always walks around with his coffee trying to look busy. No one knows exactly what he does.

Cafeteria Cashier
Takasha does not work at the HS. She works at the cafeteria on the first floor. She’s the resident gossip queen and knows everybody’s secrets.

Security guard
Wisdom is the gateway to the Harambee Society. He’s not much of a security guard. He’s more of an undiscovered philosopher. He also cuts hair in the basement

Chief Financial Officer

The society had a vermin problem and the rats were big. To control the infestation, Mr. Bossman negotiated a job with the head rat, Ray Ray, with a position in the accounting department.
