Honoring the Rite of Passage of Motherhood; And it’s Full Spectrum experience.
A safe space for people who have given birth to be witnessed and highlight the unspoken shared experiences of becoming a Mother in this modern, capitalistic society.
With the hope those who read it feel a little less alone.
How are you the same? How are you different? These are the questions I asked myself and my community, and this Zine is the fruit of those inquiries
