Building blocks for bigger dreams.

A family-run studio stacking one world at a time — starting with a book that helps kids who feel in-between see their difference as their strength.

Publishing and our first game are live. Luma Life Spa is in the works. One brand, unlimited.
The blocks we're stacking

One umbrella, three worlds.

JOBA Unlimited owns and grows each division under one roof. Publishing is live, our first game is playable, and Luma Life Spa is on the way.

Earning Stripes book cover — Kamau, a tigon in a hoodie, standing between a lion's ridge and the gates of The Oasis at sunset
Publishing · Out now

Too striped to be a lion. Too lion to be a tiger.

Kamau is a tigon — half lion, half tiger, born between two worlds and told he belongs to neither. Taken from his father and released into the wild, he fights his way through the Ninth Annual Jungle Olympics to reclaim a place that was stolen from him.

It's a mission book before it's a product: an upper-middle-grade adventure built to help kids who feel "in-between" see their difference as their power.

Our differences aren't weaknesses — they're strengths waiting to be discovered.

Out now Available everywhere you read — Amazon & Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, libraries, and direct on Payhip.

Hazed book cover — a hooded student in an Oklahoma A&M hoodie stands beneath a great bell on a rain-soaked campus at night, a gold ankh pendant in hand.

HAZED

Some marks stay forever.

"At work, at school, by friends — we have all been hazed."

For every student who went in looking for belonging — and did not come back out.

Why we build

Every story stacks toward something real.

20% of net proceeds from every book funds DIG STEP Academy — the free youth program run by DIG LIFE, the nonprofit founded and directed by author Eric Oba Totton.

Kamau's story of being born between two worlds isn't just a plot. It's the whole point: JOBA Unlimited exists to help disenfranchised and mixed kids see themselves as powerful — on the page, and off it.

20%of net proceeds go straight to DIG STEP Academy, DIG LIFE's free youth program.
