A panel featuring four of Nia King's favorite artists: Sawyer Lovett, Joe Hatton, Vo Vo, and Cristy C. Road. Zines played a crucial role in reducing social isolation for many of us, whether we were one of the only punks of color in our scene (Nia in Boston, Joe in the Dakotas, and Vo in Sydney, Australia), or the only gay in our rural Virginia town (Sawyer). Cristy C. Road discusses growing up in Miami's predominantly Black and brown punk scene and using zines to process heartbreak and trauma. Other important zinesters that received shout-outs (or should have include): Mimi Thi Nguyen Jackie Wang Lauren Jade Martin Suzy X Osa Atoe Adee Roberson Lawrence Lindell Breena Nuñez Ajuan Mance the Queer Zine Archive Project Jenna Freedman/the Barnard Zine Library this list truly never ends. Shout out to Amirah Mizrahi for the transcription and Maliha Ahmed for running tech.

Cuban-American illustrator Cristy C. Road is unlike any other artist you've ever met before. Her vivacious attitude isn't just contagious but endearing. This Miami-based gemini is nothing short of spectacular as she spills on her toughest experiences proving that vulnerability is in fact a strength. Cristy, whose real name is Cristina Carrera, also dives into what it was like to come out to her conservative Latino family, using art as an escape in her teens through zines, and how proud she is to have produced a soon-to-be released beautiful 78-tarot card deck after all these years. She also reveals the story behind her name. Hint: punk rock is near and dear to her heart. Check out this fellow bruja's raw and passionate work on moradolens.com.
