When she didn’t see diverse characters in comics, one Millennial wrote her own. With an all-woman cast of characters from all over the world, The Keepers is the diverse comics Jazmin Truesdale couldn’t find anywhere else. Basing characters off her favorite actresses and her own friend group, Truesdale says, “My friend circle is very diverse. I have a lot of Latina and South Asian friends. And I know if I want to see myself [in comics], they want to see themselves too.” She also made it a point to incorporate heart health into her series, as it is a top health concern for women.
