“Since the pandemic, we’ve had to transition from having our educational panels at schools, colleges, and conferences to all virtual,” says Jade Seabarry, Co-Founder of DiverseToons. Comic-Con will be virtual due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This decision was made in the interest of public safety. DiverseToons is an educational foundation run by Monique Henry-Hudson and Jade Seaberry, dedicated to highlighting diversity and its importance in the Animation industry. Our mission is to help our community navigate through their own career paths, share insights from people in the industry, and create a larger network of diverse animators.
