me, in an interview about my cartoonists of color database: i started it in 2014--holy crap, that's ten years ago!
interviewer: sorry, i don't mean to make you feel old...
me: it's not that i'm old, it's that i've been working for free for a decade!

anyway, check out the cartoonistsofcolor.com 🧡

jason martin's comics are so pure 🥲

highly recommended for readers who want a secret smile, a good cry, and aren't dead inside (because you'd have to be to not absolutely fall in love with these stories)

you can get the book here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/...

regardless of all the nuclear war drills we did in elementary school, and the certainty i'd die of aids in the 80s as i came into my sexuality, it was a special kind of terror to be handed an evacuation instruction sheet "in case the pr0ud boys show up again," before a pride panel at the library.

7 years ago, cecil brown made yumi's and my dreams come true, inviting us to sign books at kinokuniya.

sadly, cecil passed away by covid during the worst of the pandemic.

thank you, cecil, for being an advocate for japanese american storytellers. i will pass along your kindness wherever i can.
