Universe of Latina Superheroes

---

With the rise of superheroes throughout the years in movies and comics,  one East LA Chicana writer is aiming at bringing fair representation by  introducing a team of Latina superheroes and she's bringing them to the  borderland for this year's El Paso Comic Con. Iris Lopez shows us more  with today's Sunday Funday moment. 

Boyle Heights resident, Kayden Phoenix, is on a mission to bring more  Latina representation to film and TV, starting with her very own  universe of superheroes that are being introduced via comic books.

 Everybody needs a superhero, but if you’re a woman or a person of color, chances are you won’t find yourself reflected on the big screen, much less in a comic book. Kayden Phoenix is the creator of Jalisco, a comic book featuring a Mexican superhero that uses her culture to fight villains.
