SUMMARY:Two Tribes, with Emily Bowen Cohen
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\nClick here to register for this free virtual event, co-presented by the Cartoon Art Museum and Be’chol Lashon.\n\n\n\n\nIn her poignant debut graphic novel inspired by her own life, Emily Bowen Cohen embraces the complexity, meaning, and deep love that comes from being part of two vibrant tribes.\nMia is still getting used to living with her mom and stepfather, and to the new role their Jewish identity plays in their home. Feeling out of place at home and at her Jewish day school, Mia finds herself thinking more and more about her Muscogee father, who lives with his new family in Oklahoma. Her mother doesn’t want to talk about him, but Mia can’t help but feel like she’s missing a part of herself without him in her life.\nSoon, Mia makes a plan to use the gifts from her bat mitzvah to takea bus to Oklahoma—without telling her mom—to visit her dad and find the connection to her Muscogee side she knows is just as important as her Jewish side.\n\n\n\nEmily Bowen Cohen is a member of the Muscogee Nation. She spent her childhood in Okemah, Oklahoma, and her teen years in Montclair, New Jersey, before graduating from Harvard University. She currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband and their three Native American Jewish children. You can find her memoir-style comics at memberoftwotribes.com.\n\n\n\n\n
