People have been sending me shots of our Mental Health Month Affirmation campaign and it makes me so happy to see them!! This one is at 175th in new york on the A train! @_beamorg 😍😍🤍 #DearBlackfolx#DearBlackTransFolx
ONLY 5 DAYS UNTIL FREE COMIC BOOK DAY! We've got a whole host of local comics artists doing signings including @ellen_forney, mental health coach and author of Marbles and it's follow-up, Rock Steady. Catch her and the rest of our 10th Anniversary FCBD event this Saturday!
@lldiedrich @MshphdMartha I felt such a connection with him when I was drawing those!! Marbles is full of self-portraits (archival and throughout) to help me figure out how I was feeling, and I really felt like I was maybe sort of stretching back through time to a similar struggle. Big feelings!
📚Majareta: manía, depresión, Miguel Ángel y yo d'@ellen_forney
Després de complir la trentena, l'autora descobreix que pateix un trastorn bipolar i comença una llarga lluita per aconseguir l'estabilitat mental sense perdre la seva identitat. Un trastorn, un do o un càstig?
@ellen_forney wrote a graphic novel - & a companion guide - that made me feel more seen than any mental health account ever has. Marbles helped me know I wasn’t alone. Rock Steady helps me stay stable. I highly recommend both books.
Humanity. Identify. Self. Mental health. Family. Anger. Love. Laugh out loud funny. Honest. Life saving. History. Life-changing choices. This graphic memoir by @ellen_forney powerfully showcases the power of comics. Brutal honesty and I learned so much. #TeachingWithComics
