Women in Comics NYC Collective International or “WinC” is dedicated to giving a voice to women who work in the comic book industry and helping them better brand themselves and promote their projects.[2] Sawyer started this organization in May 2012 after hosting a Women in Comics Panel at Bronx Heroes Comic Con. At the panel, Sawyer recognized a highly underrepresented community of women of color in the comic book industry. WinC stresses being open to all women of any ethnicity, culture or background with the goal of giving a monetary reason to continue in this field. WinC has grown to have more than 100 members and holds workshops and panels all across the country.
