TEXT 1: NEW COMICS

1 Seeing your best friend in pain is never easy. Trinity Jagdeo knows that well, after her closest mate, Alexia, was diagnosed with a

2 serious degenerative disease. Alexia had to spend months in hospital to finally understand that her life would never be the same again.

3 Trinity did what she could to help her, but they could only watch films together. Eventually, she realized that Alexia needed somebody

4 to look up to in order to help her through the pain she was suffering. It was at this point that Trinity started creating comics featuring

5 superheroes with disabilities. It gave Trinity something to focus on, and it inspired her friend Alexia never to give up hope.

6 Disney ignored her suggestion to create characters with disabilities or special needs, so Trinity established her own non-profit

7 organization —"From We Can't to We Can". Through that, she has written and illustrated comic books which prove that people can

8 still be superheroes, even if they aren't like everybody else. She has made three incredible comics. The characters in Trinity's books

9 are based on real people, and this only makes her work much more powerful. Alexia and other kids in her position are incredibly

10 grateful for what Trinity has done. It's no wonder that she gets asked to speak at schools and universities, because she's just as

11 inspiring as the characters in her stories.

12 This girl can definitely change the world, with or without superpowers. Hopefully, Trinity's comics will convince mainstream networks

13 and content creators to start giving a greater voice to those who still do not have one.
