In this episode of Future Ancestors, we sit down with the mother-daughter duo Cecilia and Waverly, the creative minds behind The Mask of Haliya. Together, they share their journey of exploring Filipino mythology and crafting a strong Filipina heroine through the lens of their independent comic.

We dive into their family roots in the Philippines, how their unique strengths complement each other in their creative process, and why they chose the goddess Haliya as the main character of their story. They discuss the challenges of working in a male-dominated comic book industry, the importance of telling authentic AAPI stories, and the legacy they're building for the next generation of Filipina creatives.

Plus, Cecilia and Waverly tackle fun rapid-fire questions and a spirited round of “This or That” to reveal their creative preferences. Don’t miss this conversation about family, culture, and carving your place in the comic world.
