Tee Franklin was born on February 11. She was introduced to comics by a family member who would regularly babysit her.[2] She continued to read them until she got married and had kids. Franklin divorced in 2011 and returned to the comic book world, starting out with reviews of comics, and interviews. In 2014, she realized how hard it was to find a comic with someone who looked like her in it or on it, so she took it upon herself to start writing those stories. She regularly speaks out against the lack of representation in comics and has gained the respect of several well-known comic creators, who "peer pressured" her into creating comics.[3] She is a domestic abuse survivor and has written her miniseries Jook Joint as a therapeutic release.[4] Franklin has autism[1] and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder,[5] and was in a car accident in 2014 that left her permanently physically disabled. She has been using a mobility aid since, and regularly speaks out about accommodating at conventions.[6] She currently resides in New Jersey. Franklin is pansexual, but prefers the label queer.[7]
