Abstract

Two months ago, when I first proposed writing about The Owl House for Latinx Spaces, I did so with the intent of extending the conversation other outlets have begun regarding Disney’s Afro-Latina biromantic lead, Luz Noceda. Between her hair, shirt and shorts, Luz wears the colors of the asexual flag as she follows an owl that steals her book The Witch of Azura—leading her to fantasy world full of witches, elves, and other magical creatures where humans are regarded as rare mystical creatures.
