Featured Zine Editions
Take Me With You
Issue One
In the first edition of Girls Write Now’s zine, Take Me With You, mentors and mentees explored the theme of ‘underground’ through stories, poems, art, and ideas.
Take Me With You
Issue Two
For the second issue of Take Me With You, mentors and mentees focused on food and culture. They created pieces that celebrate the interconnection between our lived experiences, the food we make and eat, and the people around us who share recipes, meals, and their lives with us. They created pieces that embrace the complexity we sometimes feel about food and culture—what battles are we asked to fight with food in our world today? What challenges do we face when we boldly embrace our culture?
