Amanda Diebert
Manage episode 347992377 series 3372994
This week, Leonora welcomes graphic novelist, comic book writer, screenwriter, television writer, and Twitter phenomenon Amanda Diebert. Amanda has written DC titles such as Super Hero Girls, Teen Titans Go!, and Wonder Woman ‘77, and she’s written on shows such as He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. She has a brand new book currently available for pre-order, based on her beautiful introspective and community-building prompts on Twitter, called You Already Have the Answers. Despite construction sounds around both of them, Amanda and Leonora discuss why superheroes matter, surviving trauma while learning to mother ourselves, building community with strangers online, and how she and her wife, illustrator Cat Staggs, navigate being both creative and life partners. To pre-order Amanda’s book, which will make an incredible gift to any loved one (including yourself), please visit https://www.amazon.com/You-Already-Have-Answers-Gratitude/dp/1797219367
