![]() ![]() MG: I find Bingo to be an intriguing way for two young characters to meet. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is a story that needed to be told as there is a lack of inclusion out there – especially Black Queer older women. Bingo Love is 80 pages, full of love, heartbreak, love, marriages, divorces, children, acceptance, tragedy and so much more. When it comes to Bingo Love, I wanted to tell a Queer romance story, but also add tragedy elements to it. I create several worlds in my head and I pick and choose which world I want to play in. Nailbiter’s “The Outfit” was horror, “A Blazin'” in the Elements Anthology was a fantastical fire story, and the “Tears” page in Love is Love was about tragedy. TF: I have written a total of fifteen published pages and they’ve all been different. What makes Bingo Love stand out from the rest? MG: You’ve worked on a variety of fantastic projects, including Nailbiter, Elements, and Love is Love. Next thing you know, I created a world for the two women and Bingo Love was born. I saw them smiling and then giggling and staring at an older Black gentleman and my mind started to wander. Tee Franklin: I was watching TV and a commercial with two older Black women walking the streets of NY together popped up. Mexi Gremillion: Tee, what brought you to writing Bingo Love? What inspired you to create this novella? There’s an exciting new Kickstarter out there for you to check out! I talked with Tee “Vixen” Franklin, #BlackComicsMonth advocate and rising comic book writer, about her new project Bingo Love! ![]()
