Patrice Aggs is a Michigan-born author and artist who currently lives in the UK. She has written and illustrated dozens of books for children and adults, and loves working on graphic novels best of all. She would have been thrilled to have met Shirley Chisholm. Her mom still has the "Chisholm for President" campaign badge!
Markia Jenai was raised in Detroit during rough times, and found adventure through art and storytelling. After studying at the Academy of Art in San Francisco, she has made it her goal to create worlds where people of color are front and center. When she's not drawing, she like to watch documentaries, listen to Dungeons&Dragons livestreams, and read historical articles, all of which fuels her work!
