Lively autobiographical comics take us through an exploration of queerness and what it means to a woman of color.
Censorship history
In 2024, "I'm a Wild Seed: My Graphic Memoir on Queerness and Decolonizing the World" by Sharon Lee De La Cruz faced bans at the school level in several districts across the United States due to its LGBTQ+ content and themes of race and colonialism. Notably, in March 2024, a school board meeting in a district in Texas resulted in a vote to remove the book from the curriculum after formal complaints from local parent-teacher associations. The ban has been upheld in some districts, while challenges to its removal continue in others, reflecting ongoing debates over educational content related to race and sexuality.
