Editor's note: This episode was recorded before the 2020 Eisner Awards ceremony was held. We would like to extend a hearty congratulations to Erica Eng for winning the 2020 Eisner Award for Best Webcomic for her comic, Fried Rice.

Erica Eng is an inspiring young animator, illustrator and author of the Eisner Award-winning semi-autobiographical webcomic, Fried Rice. We sit down with Erica and talk about her influences, how her love for folk music inspired her artistic style, learning to love and grow in the places you call home, finding gratitude and grace in the opportunities and experiences you are given, and the power and beauty of creating your own unique narrative where there is none before.
