Tee Franklin is a DC Comics writer of the GLAAD nominated Harley Quinn series that are a massive #1 hit on Amazon. She is the first Black woman to write Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, and she is also the first Black woman writer with multiple series by Image Comics. She hopes to pave the way for more marginalized comiccreators. Tee is a Black, Queer, mom of adult children, who is also a disabled, autistic, wheelchair-user just bursting with personality!

Franklin’s goals are to change the ugly and harmful narrative the media has created about disabled people. She wants to show that you can create works of art without offending disabled people. Franklin has proven if given accommodations and accessibility, disabled people can accomplish anything.

Franklin has created trending and viral hashtags throughout her time on social media, from #BlackComicsMonth, #TeensThatLookLikeTeens, #NoRampNoPanel, #MakeAbleistsUncomfortable, and several more. While Franklin does not consider herself an activist or an advocate for disabled people, she uses her platform to discuss topics that affects her daily life as a Black, queer, disabled woman, speaking up for those who don’t have a large platform.

When she’s not writing — or tweeting — Franklin is watching anime, Asian horror movies, or reliving the joy from rewatching the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited shows — especially the episodes featuring Vixen!
