Kim-Joy’s Graphic Novel “Turtle Bread” Tackles Baking and Anxiety | Eater

"A charity-run café in Leeds that supports women facing significant disadvantages by offering practical baking and barista training alongside employment opportunities and access to psychotherapy, so participants can work in the café while receiving mental-health support. The program treats baking as an accessible intermediary for building confidence and opening up emotionally, using communal food-making to foster connection, wellbeing, and pathways toward employment — a model that inspired aspects of Kim-Joy’s graphic novel." - Jaya Saxena
