Some of the illustrations I’ve made for Broadly over the last few months. Thanks to my editors Zing, Lauren, and Callie for the wild times, it’s been fun and good work.
I’ve been doing a lot of editorial illustrations for Broadly over the last few months, it’s been swell! I’m grateful to all the editors I’ve worked with for all the wild and progressive topics. Here are some of my favorite pieces:
Portraits I took behind the scenes at the 15th year of the Queen USA pageant. This was the first time that the event was produced on a national scale and organized to fundraise for the transgender health clinic at St. John’s Well Child & Family Center. Article by Diana Tourjee for Broadly.
“I don’t want to be this ‘renowned female magician.’ I want to be a renowned magician.” We spent a day with one of the world’s greatest magicians, the incredible Misty Lee, to get a glimpse into the life of the performer and glean her wisdom on being one of the only women in a male-dominated industry. Watch it now on Broadly.tv.
If any woman defined 2015, it’s Rachel Dolezal. Since her parents outed her as biologically Caucasian in June, Rachel has been the center of debates about race, Black Lives Matter, trans women, public shaming, identity politics, and social constructionism. Along with Broadly’s exclusive interviews with Rachel about her childhood on an anti-abortion homestead and the lifelong evolution of her identity, Rachel took us on a tour of her home in Spokane, WA. See more photos, here.
For Black History Month, I will write a four-part column for Broadly on characters & pop culture moments which shaped my identity as a black woman. Here is the first column, on Jodie Landon from MTV’s Daria.
