I started writing comics in 2003 and I'm in the process of launching Jennifer's Journals; The Life of a SubUrban Girl. My cartoons were recently featured in Bitch magazine's 2009 winter issue. I was also a finalist in Lambda Legal's "Life Without Fair Courts" contest.

SYNOPSIS:

The graphic novel, Jennifer’s Journal: The Life of a Suburban Girl, chronicles the life of this quirky and petite, freckled-face African American illustrator and artist. Pages from actual journals illustrate this misfit’s troubled upbringing in the suburbs of New Jersey and her daily interactions as an adult in New York City. Jennifer’s Journal takes an honest and revealing look at her struggles with work, sex and sexuality, relationships, depression and religion while poking fun at the stereotypes she encounters along away. Simply drawn characters with round figures soften the complex and contradictory life situations she depicts. She introduces several colorful characters which include a host of grumpy family members, schoolmates that tease and gossip, New York City’s archetypes, and her close friends Josephine and Maryland’s own awkward takes on life. Jennifer’s imaginary companions also influence her actions; they range from the meditative "Miss Buddha Bear" to her nemesis "Sister Sympathy". Each accompanies Jennifer as she tries to maintain a positive outlook and peace of mind while battling the insanity of popular culture in the city.
