Rebecca Richardson is a cartoonist, educator, and bookseller based in Columbus, Ohio. Rebecca is inspired by Latin & Caribbean diaspora, comics pedagogy, her messes and mistakes, and third places such as independent bookstores and museums. She began making comics and illustrations after her first year of teaching K-12 art in 2022. Since then, Rebecca has used her comics and teaching practice to engage with her local community. She is interested in how communities are nourished and fractured through visual narrative.

Rebecca strives to create inclusive spaces for gathering and connection. She is an organizer of Zine Club Columbus where folks make zines in community with zinesters of all experience levels. She is also the museum educator at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum where she facilitates and develops educational programming and resources.

Rebecca holds a A.A in English from Hudson County Community College (2019) and a B.A in English and Secondary Education from New Jersey City University (2022).
