Gordita: Built Like This

"Gordita: Built Like" is an autobiographical comic by Daisy "Draizys" Diaz. In this 28-page color comic, we follow Gordita, a young Mexican-American teenager who lives in The Bronx. She's judged for having no butt by classmates, strangers, and even family. Gordita struggles with low self-esteem and body dysmorphia. But, through her friendships with other girls who are also getting bullied, and a mentorship with her guidance counselor, Gordita, begins to speak up for herself and see that she is more than just her body. This is the Teen version of the book that includes profanity.
