Community Engagement & Literacy through Zines:
Presentations + Workshops Middle School Students (2022-23)
Below, scroll through photos with thank you notes and feedback on my community engagement through a comics artist talk and zine-making workshop with middle school students from:
Farnsworth Magnet School (in-person, comics in libraries presentation and zine workshop at Metro State Library. 100% BIPOC students), December 2022
"It was so great to hear your story, learn about your art and work, and see how you engaged with the students. They were engaged and excited, and it was super clear that you made a big impact on them. Thank you for taking time out of your schedule to share with the students today. I know that I meant a lot to them..."
