About This Book

From childhood to college, a young Black artist shares her journey of self-discovery and creativity in a mostly white town. Battling severe dyslexia, she uses art to express herself and break barriers, ultimately becoming one of the first Black female cartoonists featured in the New Yorker. This heartfelt and humorous graphic memoir explores identity, perseverance, and finding your voice through art.
