Writer creates first Latina superhero universe: 'We don't always get our justice as women'

Kayden Phoenix was already established as a writer and director in the independent film industry…. when she came up with an entire superhero universe, unlike anything that has been produced under Marvel or DC. Phoenix asked herself what she wanted to write about and the answer came to her quickly: a Latina superhero. Phoenix ended up with a feature-length script starring five Latina superheroes. The team is called A La Brava. It was crucial for Phoenix that the artists understood her vision, so she exclusively hired Latina illustrators and writers. Her ultimate plan remains: she wants to see a Latina superhero on the big screen
