aliza bosa

Aliza Bosa is a queer Filipino-Italian youth from Fort Langley, who is obsessed with rainbows. She spends way too much time in Vancouver doing cool and exciting things she is passionate about. She loves art, music and you’re see her lurking in spaces that encourage anti-oppression and love. When you do see her, make sure to give her a hug, unless you don’t want a hug, which is totally okay too.

Lily Shinde is awesome.

Sarah Leavitt’s first book, Tangles: A Story About Alzheimer’s, My Mother, and Me, a graphic memoir, was published in Canada, the US, UK, and Germany to international critical acclaim (LA Times, Vanity Fair, Globe and Mail, The Guardian). She holds an MFA in Creative Writing from UBC, but is largely self-taught as an artist and cartoonist. Thanks to the Canada Council, Sarah is about to start a six-month leave from her day job to work on her next book.
