The Washington Post has a write up on Gabby Rivera ’04—LGBTQ youth advocate, author, and now writer for Marvel Comics' new superhero book, America:

Marvel Comics reached out to Rivera, perhaps best-known for her novel “Juliet Takes a Breath,” and asked whether she’d be interested in being the writing voice behind America Chavez, a Latina, queer, superpowered and super-popular character who made a name for herself in the pages of super-team titles “Young Avengers” and “The Ultimates.”

Gabby also spoke to Goucher Magazine last summer about her time here.
