"In a post-Roe world, your Zip code can affect the kind of maternal medical care you receive," writes illustrator @theLAJohnson in this comic for @thelilynews. (1/6)
ALT Narration on a Perspective comic by LA Johnson reads: “My sister and I miscarried one week apart from each other in September. But our experiences with the medical system post-Roe were strikingly different.” An illustration shows a closeup of a car’s side view mirror where a reflection of LA’s sister is shown. She is looking straight ahead at a sign in the distance that reads: “Welcome to Ohio.”
This was my favorite comic to work on this year ... go outside and look in the weeds! Love @blackforager and all she stands for! XOXOX

“Teaching in the pandemic” was one of my most favorite series at @NPR. Every week, @theLAJohnson told of the challenges teachers faced and did it with her inimitable art. And now, the series has won a Gracy - and I’m ecstatic. #gracieawards npr.org/series/978146765/com…

"The goal is to bring forth the parts you love most about yourself, getting to the essence of who you are, in terms of your style - whatever that means."
