If you\u2019ve been a regular reader of The New Yorker magazine, then you may already be familiar with this week\u2019s guest, Liz Montague. (But if you\u2019re not, then this conversation is a perfect introduction!) Liz is the first Black woman to have a cartoon featured in The New Yorker, and now she\u2019s an author with her first book set to hit bookstores everywhere in the Fall. Everything\u2019s coming up Liz!\n\nOur conversation begin with a quick life update, and from there Liz talked about starting her comic \u201cLiz at Large\u201d as a college student. She also talked about how she began contributing to The New Yorker, and spoke about representation, how that\u2019s reflected in her work, and her future books (plural!) that are on the way. Liz is proof that self-determination and hard work definitely pay off in the future!
