Podcasts about breena nu

Breena Nuñez is an Afro Guatemalan-Salvadoran cartoonist who grew up on the Bay Area's peninsula. Now she lives in the East Bay. Nuñez's illustrations cover everything from commentaries about electoral politics to autobiographical comics about gender, sexuality and race. African ancestry in Central America is a through-line in Nuñez's work. Sometimes she explicitly brings it up in the captions, other times she subtly alludes to it through hairstyles or a character's skin tone. Earlier this year, Nuñez and her partner Lawrence Lindell co-founded Laneha House, a small press where they publish their work and the work of The BAYlies collective. And just this month, the two got married.

Breena dives into the back story of some of her comics, her experiences growing up as Afrolatinx and how the seemingly unconnected threads of her childhood converged to weave her into the cartoonist she is today. *Helpful Links*Nagual - animal guardian Comics mentioned in this episode:Trinidad Escobar, http://www.trinidadescobar.com/Avy Jetter, http://nuthingoodat4.com/Julie Fiveash, https://jooliefiveash.tumblr.com/tagged/jooliecomix-About Breena Nuñez-Breena is an Afro Guatemalan-Salvadoran cartoonist based in Oakland, CA by way of San Bruno and South San Francisco.

Welcome back everyone and happy weekend! On this episode we dug a little into an unspoken dilemma that seems to be going around lately. One of the largest stereotypes in the Central American community is that we don't support each other when it comes to our own personal goals and aspirations. Today we decided to open the discussion to try to find out why? Is there a solution to this or, are we doomed to be stuck in our ways? With this in mind we invite you to come join us and support your fellow Central American artists/ creatives at Isthmus Roots: A Celebration of Central American Creativity & Story Telling. On Saturday, May 26th of 2018, from 5pm-8:00pm at the EastSide Cafe in El Sereno, California we will be moderating this event/panel in celebration of all the amazing artists/ creatives on this panel that have utilized their platforms to speak and amplify the stories of their respective communities. This event will be free and there will be music, food, and art! Panel features: A. Sarr: Nicaraguan musician, Breena Nuñez Peralta: Guatemalan/Salvadoran illustrator, Brigette Lugo: Panamanian & Nicaraguan journalist/founder of SomosGenteLA, Nicole Ramsey: Belizean educator, Tamika Burgess: Afro-Panamanian blogger, founder of EsMiCultura, Yeiry Guevara: Salvadoran writer and artist, Zaira Miluska, Salvadoran founder of Central American art and beauty, Victor Interiano: Salvadoran artist known as the one and only Dichos de un bicho.
