1. Who are you!? What zine/project/form of creative genius are you responsible for?
I’m an author, illustrator, and cartoonist. My most recent ongoing project is called Dee’s Dream, a story about a young woman and her friends who are trying to launch their careers in the competitive music business. I am also one of the organizers of the Philly Comix Jam, a Philadelphia based cartoonist meet-up.
2. How does feminism relate to your work?
It is easy to see the way feminism relates to my work by observing my characters in my stories. Many of the characters are multidimensional women who stick up for themselves, their rights, and their beliefs.
3. Who are your feminist role models?
The Gorilla Girls, Kathleen Hanna, Pussy Riot, and more.
4. Who or what has influenced your work, and in what ways?
One can see the influence the Rumiko Takahashi’s manga has on my current work Dee’s Dream. Her work that I find most inspiring is Urusei Yatsura, a comedic science fiction story from the 80s.
5. Answer a question you've always wanted to be asked.
If you could have any superpower what would it be? Telepathy.
