Join us for a keynote by Gabby Rivera. She's the first Latina to write for Marvel Comics, penning the solo series "America," about America Chavez, a portal-punching queer Latina powerhouse. She is also author of the critically acclaimed novel Juliet Takes a Breath.
When not writing, Gabby speaks at events across the country on her experiences as a queer Puerto Rican from the Bronx, and as an LGBTQ youth advocate, and the importance of prioritizing joy in QTPOC communities. To learn more about Gabby, click here.
