This zine encompasses a series of essays, and poems, and original artwork that came out of a deep dive into my personal history, including my birth and lineage.
This has been an interesting process, one that I began by interviewing my mother. The most effective way of doing this was by asking one question and letting her speak freely; my mom is someone who loves to talk, which was to my advantage for this project. I wrote down every single word she said; another way of effectively doing this would be recording the conversation.
After our conversations I read through my shoddy transcripts for patterns and things I found thought-provoking or moving.
