life lately: the unzine # II

A zine on grappling with the events of loss, love, pain in the world and our lives. This is the second zine in the series.

In 2020, I began this blog or visual diary to document the pain, loss, injustice, uncertainties, inequities and hope we were faced with in our lives. Five years since, I am retracing my steps back to why I started drawing, writing and rhyming – to confront the everyday. It isn’t an exercise in sharing it on this blog as much as it is to hold myself accountable to write about these feelings, to witness them as they come to stay and pass. It is a way of moving past or living with all that has come about, and will come to shape my views and feelings about life. As I write this, there are atrocities unfolding the world over and I do not know how else to fight systems and people and mindsets but by fervently making.
