Homemade Zines & Artifacts

All American Reject This collection is an ode to the reluctant immigrant. Through the lens of grief, rejected authority figures, unexpected friendships and a whole lot of food, it navigates the privilege and dismissal felt towards living in America today. It invites you, my dear reader to ask: What do you move towards when you think of home? What identities come alive only with place? Where does belonging come from? Who am I when no one is looking? poems by me, artwork by my dearest buddy jalma (one half of oji: Joseph Rajini)

All Rights Reserved This collection features writing about the body and the being. They explore my relationship to food, to norms of femininity, to growing up with a sense of what’s ideal, and what’s taking shape in me. It asks: Who does a body belong to? Where does a bodies boundary end? What are we touching when we touch each other? poems by me, artwork by my dearest buddy jalma (one half of oji: Joseph Rajini)

Stranded Origin Story This collection was made from poems crafted during the Tupelo 30/30 August Series. I found my poems in conversation with my childhood self, & my grandmothers, my mother through all her ages, and finding my present self somewhere between those conversations.

Handmade prompts packets I enjoy writing little letters & prompts for friends & strangers.
