#lamamavida

Appreciate all of life's gift. This shrine is in my #lamamavida zine.

#LaMamaVida is now up on my etsy! Link is in the bio. La Mama Vida is my most personal zine yet. It is the greatest love letter to my son, Soliah. In November 2015 I was blessed to discover I was carrying a life seed, a human spirit that held within them the ancestors of both myself and my beautiful partner. I began to write because writing is my medicine. It allows me to discover my truest feelings and develop a method to communicate them with myself and others. Dated at the top, you will find a series of writings that chronicle my journey. Included is Yo Soy Madre, a self-affirming piece on embracing myself as mother; Dispel the Shame to Set Our Bodies Free; Los Tres Espiritus: How to Maintain Balance; Santa Comida Madre de Diosas; Our Chords to the Earth Are Not Cut At Birth, a poem; and Soliah Sun: A Birth Story. 24 pages, black and white 8 1/2 by 11 collage style, with personal photographs included

My new zine making partner has basically slept throughout our entire process and right before this picture, threw up his milk lunch all down my back. He's the best creative partner I've ever had. #sfzf #lamamavida
