This happened last year at the Orlando Megacon. I was set to be on a panel with an industry who’s who of professionals that were also representative of the LGBTQ+ community. It was supposed to be Marc Andreyko, Cat Staggs, Amanda Deibert, Phil Jimenez, Tara Ford, Tee Franklin, Jose Villarubia and Me. It turned out to be just me. What happened was that this panel was on a Friday and it happened to be the same day as the premiere in Hollywood for WONDER WOMAN and many of the guests had an invitation, so the panel was postponed to the next day. Some of the other creators were told this but nobody told ME and nobody told the fans who showed up, so I had a full hour to fill by myself. I answered as many questions as I could and told stories and related my own experiences coming out as Trans in the comics industry. But the very first thing I did on a stage by myself with a half-filled room of convention goers was sing Don’t Stop Believin’ by Journey with no music. Because THAT’S how I roll. ;)
