Aza Comics has released a tribute video covering 100 years of women’s history to celebrate Women’s History Month. The video starts with women’s suffrage in the 1920s and goes through an impressive collage of videos and images of influential women of the past 100 years set to Benny Goodman’s popular tune, “Sing Sing Sing”.
Aza Comics is aiming to continue providing hope and escapism for the world as people support the Black Lives Matter movement. “Aza Comics has always addressed the issues of black people in its storylines,” says Truesdale, “I’m just happy that now people are finally understanding what is happening and joining this fight that is truly everyone’s fight.”
There is no doubt that the women of Aza are truly a force to be reckoned with. From their outfits to their personalities and superpowers, each character was carefully crafted to bring meaning and purpose to the Aza Universe. But did you know that even their hair played a role in the type of characters that each woman would become? “A woman’s hair is her crown,” says Aza Comics CEO, Jazmin Truesdale. “I wanted it so that even the hair of Aza’s superheroines inspired women to be great and be themselves.”
I normally don’t write opinion posts but this was something I couldn’t ignore. As the CEO of a company that creates female superheroes, you could say that I have devoted my life to empowering and inspiring women and young girls. For this reason, you could imagine my disgust at seeing the rise of Donald Trump in this year’s presidential election.
