On this episode of the Popzara Podcast editor-at-large Ev Wong chats with trailblazing aviator, coach, author, and humanitarian Patricia Campos, one of several authors from Voices That Count, an anthology of nine unique comic stories from nine unique women. Originally published in Spanish, this beautifully illustrated collection is now available in English for the first time thanks to IDW Publishing.
An author in her own right, Patricia tells her own story in Tierra, Mar y Aire about how she went from being the first female fighter pilot in the Spanish Navy to coaching soccer and helping people in Uganda to bringing her story to a new generation in comic form (with illustrations by Sara Soler). Ev and Patricia don’t mince words when it comes to eating disorders, working in male-dominated industries, and understanding how women are always expected to come out perfect – especially if they’re different from the general public.
