Take Me With You is Girls Write Now’s zine created by Print 360 participants.
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?
In the first edition of Take Me With You, mentees and mentors wrote based on the theme of “underground” and shared stories, poems, art, and ideas that serve to form and inspire community.
In 2012 Girls Write Now launched the Digital Media Mentoring Program to provide girls with the tools necessary to advance their writing through new media. In Spring 2013, pairs tried their hand at creative publishing, re-mastering their favorite written works using InDesign.
Held at Parsons the New School for Design, and lead by Parsons’ grad students and Girls Write Now staff and Youth Board, the semester of Dorkshops culminated with the creation of this collaborative e-zine.
