INEND Presents: A Queer Comic Redefining African Values and Family.

At the heart of the comic is Davii, a queer protagonist navigating friendship, love, and identity in a society that questions their existence. Alongside Davii is Oti, a friend who mirrors the wider heterosexual community, offering opportunities for dialogue and learning. Kevoo brings the emotional depth of what it means to survive and reflect as an LGBTQ+ person, while Bonnie, the antagonist, represents societal forces that perpetuate queerphobia.
The comic also introduces us to Aisha and Amina, a couple that radiates love and the hope of community acceptance. Mwangi, a non-binary character, takes us on a journey of self-acceptance, while Nya, a queer woman, sheds light on workplace discrimination and economic empowerment, showcasing the importance of resilience and thriving in the face of adversity.
