Birth Story is a graphic memoir about navigating pregnancy, birth, postpartum depression, and new motherhood as an artist. It explores the physical and psychologically altering of the birth process: pain, transformation, trauma, healing, and the window of time around the birthing body. Struggling to find representations of birth and postpartum depression in popular culture and art, the artist interweaves other's stories, friendship, and travel to help make sense of it all. This personal birth story, told through text and drawing, is an effort to remember and contribute to sharing strength in all women's voices and the act of living itself.
