Independent cartoonist Mikhaela B. Reid has provided a wonderful write up of the “Having Our Say: Black Women Discuss Imagery” panel, which occurred at the annual East Coast Black Age of Comics Convention. Appearing on the panel were Ormes Society members Cheryl Lynn Eaton and Rashida Lewis as well as author L.A. Banks.

I’m so glad this first panel went well. If all goes according to plan, it could become a regular event.

Comment by Carl E. Moore April 1, 2008 @ 4:44 pmYou women are engaging in a most necessary dialog.
Us men in comics are very quick to objectify. Not celebrate the diversity of female characters. Not all woman look like barbie or are as passive as June Cleaver.
And not all black people share the urban experience.Thus I believe forums, panels and conversations like yours are pivitol to helping comic creators better understand what types of characters are really possible, when we look beyond our narrow fishbowl.
