Screaming Into The Future

“Zines enabled me to take  space.
That’s such an important part,
not only in my writing journey,
but also in my trans journey.

We’re allowed to take space.
I’m allowed to take space
in the publishing community,
I’m allowed to take it in the workplace,
in my relationships, in my family.”

“I’m an author of teen fiction. I write short stories. But I think zines are my favorite. I just can’t stay away. I can’t quit you, zines.”

“Louisiana French has been thought of as this language that couldn’t be written. That is a stigma that is hard to break. I think that’s important to get more written Louisiana French in front of people. It legitimizes the language.

You can create things with written Louisiana French. You can read it. You can write it. you can consume it that way. I’m excited to see where this project might take that.”
