Aimee Major Steinberger drew this adorable little comic about how female character representation in pop culture media is important to little girls growing up and trying to accept themselves. ❤️ Here’s what she had to say about it:

“What characters came around in an important time for you to help you feel better about yourself? Princess Leia and Sailor Jupiter were big ones for me! Even though my problem is not as big as what others face, when I think about how these characters encouraged me, it really reinforces to me how important representation in media. Art really can help people feel better. I hope that you have been able to find characters or friends who encourage you.”
