What Does it Mean to Belong?

My short comic submission to jessjesspress’ Sick Freaks Magazine, Issue 1: the DMV. The comic reflects on our shared responsibilities to keep the Black and people of color communities that have been in the DMV for generations intact. The narrative flows like a stream of consciousness, tracing my old commute from Maryland to my job in DC. It is a heartfelt nod to a local spot special to me but recently closed, as well as the community work that has been occurring across the DMV in recent years.
