Future LGBTQ History Month: Rebecca Sugar Brings Compassion to Animation

FUSE TV - Future LGBTQ History Month: Rebecca Sugar Brings Compassion to Animation

Fuse is celebrating Pride Month by looking at a variety of rising forces who are creating Future LGBTQ History before our eyes. Today we are honoring Rebecca Sugar, whose innovative mindset in the animation world is just as sweet as her last name.

The Maryland native is well-known and respected for making cartoon history. In 2012, she brought the Emmy-nominated Steven Universe to life, ultimately becoming the first woman to create a series for Cartoon Network. Prior to helming the show, which is loved by people of all ages and genders, Sugar worked on another cult favorite from the network—Adventure Time.
