Esta Feíta
An unpublished 30+ panel journalism comic formatted for social media. I interviewed my friend Monze Lozano about her experiences with colorism as a Mexican-American. Monze’s words provide the bulk of the narration and text, with additional research added by me.
See sources below comic.
tw: racism, anti-blackness, self-hate
