Susie Magazine is an intersectional feminist zine. We present cutting edge interdisciplinary work focused on creating an equal platform to highlight and empower marginalized stories and voices. We are featuring photographers, multimedia artists, short essays, poetry, and merch created by women-identified and non-binary folk.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Queer love, rock 'n' roll, and moves to kill. If you need a drink, a little dance, or a dark corner to whisper secrets, come be with JUDY. She's a punk and she promises to ruin Friday morning with her drink specials. JUDY is a safe space for all to enjoy.

As creative endeavors tend to do, this project has evolved over the past couple months. The time we've spent engaged in thoughtful art and written works we received has shifted our previous conceptions for this journal. In light of our sociopolitical context, we want our project to do its part in highlighting and empowering marginalized stories and voices. As such, we are very excited to be moving forward as Susie Mag -- a creative gathering space for women-identified and non-binary folks. Susie is an intentional departure from the women's magazines of the past, whose scopes were tightly cropped on the lives of white, privileged ladies while systematically excluding other narratives. While keeping themes of inclusion at the forefront of our editorial vision, Susie aims to reclaim the space women's magazines of the past once monopolized by listening to and sharing diverse stories in hopes of bringing those within the margins into the center. + +
