Previous Episode

Carly Usdin’s ”Avant-Guards”

Hello, sports fans (or not lol)! We're back for another episode of the Summer Short Series! This week, we'll be dribbling, crossing up, and passing the mics over to the ICONIC queer, YA, sports graphic novel, "The Avant-Guards", which was created and written by Carly Usdin! Marci especially has been wanting to read this for a WHILE and it narrowly missed being a summer short last year, so we are HYPE to discuss. Put on some sneakers, stretch that body, and get ready for an all-star conversation about community, healthy relationship dynamics, and, most importantly, this cast of champions
