Takeya will create Taki Mam, a series of animations where the main character is a non-white, bisexual, pregnant action figure. The cartoon will address feminist values, inequality, esoteric journeys, and gender roles defined by society and outlandish situations with sexual partners. The project is motivated by lack of representation of gender non-conforming folks, pregnant “studs” and masculine female parents in the media and in the animation industry.
