“But I am still…a rebel”

October 1, 2021
The Womxn’s Labor Leadership Symposium 2021 is a celebration of Womxn across the country doing groundbreaking work in the movement for worker justice. A legacy project of the Berger - Marks Foundation, I was proud to have been an award recipient in 2015 and honored to create the illustrated award for the inaugural WILL Empower Awards. For the illustration, I chose to honor legendary womxn in labor, Lucy Parson and Karen Lewis. The full quotation is taken from Lucy Parson and reads “Oh, Misery, I have drunk thy cup of sorrow to its dregs, but I am still a rebel”. The illustration is one taken from a photo of the late Chicago Teachers Union President, Karen Lewis.

“El Entender” for Tales from la Vida: A Latinx Comics Anthology
Published Summer 2018
In May of 2018, Professor Frederick Luis Aldama of the Ohio State University did a call out to his network of Latinx Comic artists and Sol-Con exhibitors for submissions to a one of a kind comic anthology of uniquely Latinx stories. I was lucky to be a part of that call out and a part of the graphic history preserved in Tales from la Vida: A Latinx Comics Anthology. “El Entender” is a two page comic illustrating my own process towards understanding my mother, our relationship, and the ways in which I eventually discovered our peresonal life journey’s were more similar than we thought. This remains one of my favorite comics to date.
