Women in Comics Collective International (WinC for short, pronounced "wink") is an artistic and informative initiative. It serves to highlight the merit and craftwork of marginalized voices, especially those of Women and Queer Folx of color, who work in the comics and multimedia industry. They are also the 2024 recipients of the Bob Clampett Humanitarian Award. In this discussion, panelists talk about how they use comics as an advocacy tool for social change in their work, as well as in the world at large. Panelists include Gamal Hennessy (Creative Contract Consulting), Vanee Smith-Matsalia (WinC-EDU), Dr. LaWana Richmond (Afrofuturist Lounge, creator), Ebony Toussaint (Crash Cart, creator), Karla Medrano (The Zelda Awards, founder), and Jibola Fagbamiye (Fela: Music Is the Weapon). Moderated by Regine L. Sawyer (WinC, founder).
