By d. emerson eddy — This week I wanted to continue to focus on important black voices within comics and specifically spotlight the work of C. Spike Trotman. Often times, you'll see a complete confusion within male and white dominated spaces on how to promote intersectionality, inclusivity, and diversity. In my opinion, often because they're looking at it from a perspective to maintain their power. Trotman, however, with her work and publishing company Iron Circus Comics, makes it look easy. Through hard work and dedication, she's managed to develop a sustainable and successful crowd-funded business model that helps serve a diverse range of creators that are often underserved and not represented within many other comics publishers.
