Victoria loves drawing Latin characters, especially superhero ones. She always wanted to see one ever since her love for comic books and animation flourished in middle school. Being raised in California and Texas and growing up in a big family (consisting mostly of her six siblings) it always gave her the inspiration to make that dream possible; wanting to give them and others the representation she always wanted growing up.
Victoria loves the idea of having a female lead taking charge of protecting her community. Also seeing a comic book project being lead and run by Latina artists like herself is what made her want to take part.
