Breena Nuñez is an Afro Guatemalan-Salvadoran cartoonist who grew up on the Bay Area s peninsula. Now she lives in the East Bay.
Nuñez s illustrations cover everything from satire on electoral politics to autobiographical comics about gender, sexuality and race.
African ancestry in Central America is a through-line in a lot of Nuñez s work. Sometimes she explicitly brings it up in the captions, other times she subtly alludes to it through hairstyles or a character s skin tone.
