Got to interview the wonderful ⁦@heylauragao⁩ about their new graphic novel Messy Roots. We talked about what it means to “come into” your Asianness, their queer identity, why their parents haven’t read their book yet and Wuhanese culture 👀👀👀 https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2022/04/24/1093992912/the-pandemic-inspired-a-cartoonist-to-explore-their-wuhanese-roots-and-queer-ide

How cool is this!? Angela Dimayuga, Filipina chef and author of Filipinx, found out her dad *invented* McDo's Extra Value Meal.

Packed with Arabic words and Egyptian cultural touchstones (like eating a kofta sandwich for lunch), the book is a welcoming and loving picture of Egyptian diasporic life.

In the end, here’s what he wrote: “Malaka Gharib recounts her teenage memories with an open heart and an eye for detail. ‘It Won’t Always Be Like This’ is her best work yet. I wish everyone could write (and draw) about their lives with this much honesty, specificity, and warmth.” https://t.co/F9hs2WbEJs
