¡Vámonos! Because in this podcast, you will be listening to LGBTQ+ vendors, artists, & creators that make up the Queer Mercado Community. You will get to hear their stories, motivations, and the many ways they contribute to their local communities. They are the magic of the Queer Mercado (QM).
Get ready to listen to the love, passion, and dedication behind the QM with your host Gaudencio Márquez.
In this episode, you will meet non-binary trans femme artist and designer, Randy Gomez (she/they). They talk about how their self-discovery experience is reflected in their comic book work. Randy also talks about how growing up in Los Angeles was affected by moving to new parts of the county while trying to find a connection with the community.
