In this episode, I sit down with the trail-blazing illustrator behind Coffee and Castoffs, Sheikha. Sheikha's socially charged comics and use of vivid colors and symbolism tell the story of the, often neglected, Arab Girl narrative. We talk about the different pressures that Arab women experience, how to relate to your audience authentically and why storytelling is crucial for change.
