Sports, Socializing, and Self-Reflection: Graphic Novels on Growing Up

Join graphic novelists Julio Anta (Speak Up, Santiago!), Kat Fajardo (Miss Camper), and Amar Shah (Wish I Was a Baller) for a heartfelt conversation about the challenges and awkwardness that can come with growing up—whether you’re Santiago, spending time with his Colombian abuela and navigating a language barrier, or Sue, unexpectedly dealing with drama-filled summer at Camp Willow, or Amar, a fourteen-year-old sports journalist finds himself face-to-face with basketball legends. Together, they’ll discuss the power of storytelling to capture the messy, exciting journey of stepping outside your comfort zone and finding comfort in who you are.
