What happens when a talented writer and illustrator channels personal struggles into powerful stories? Mark Julien, the acclaimed Canadian author behind the LGBTQ graphic novels "Just in Case and the Closet Monster: Hope" and "Becoming Able," joins us to share his inspiring journey. Mark opens up about the deeply personal motivations that led to his debut book, which serves as a heartfelt conversation with his late father. His tale of coming out to his family is as touching as it is humorous, showcasing the warmth and eventual acceptance he found, particularly through his mother's loving relationship with his husband, Stacy.
