Summary
Zoe Si is a Pulitzer Prize-nominated cartoonist, illustrator, and a firm believer that when words fail, a cartoon can succeed. Too often, her comics and autobiographical doodles make us go “wow I feel seen.” Zoe and we talk about the craziness of being named a Pulitzer Prize finalist for your cartoons, her past life as a lawyer, and the joy of being creative on your own terms. This will be an inspiring episode for anyone who has gone or is going through a chapter in their lives where they are contemplating a new field of work. Following Zoe on Instagram (@zoesees) is a must and be sure to follow our Patreon for bonus content! patreon.com/FeelingAsian
