21: Meet the LGBTQ+ Superheroes of Class 6 w/Fernando Velez LPDcast
-
- Self-Improvement
Fernando Velez is the CEO of Kraven Comics and the creator and writer of the Class 6 series. The multiple superheroes of Class 6 demonstrate the diversity of the LGBTQ+ community and their stories are representative of the nuances, strengths, and complications that we face. In today’s episode, Fernando shares why he created Kraven Comics, and we discuss the importance of community building, proper LGBTQ+ representation in the comic book industry, and the vital role that a production team plays in content creation.
I have a trigger warning for today’s conversation with Fernando. Class 6 focuses on the LGBTQ+ community and our very real lived experiences, which are not always kind or ideal and today’s episode is candid and sincere. So heads up, this episode mentions suicide, corrective rape, and drug addiction. While these topics come up, they are not the complete focus of the episode.
