I've been traveling back in time. Where self hate and privilege collide in black and white format. My spirit is being tested by unforseen shadows that lurk around corners. I faced my own shadow in my dreams that night. Jung said that "the encounter with the shadow is the 'apprentice-piece' in the individual's development...that with the anima is the 'masterpiece'".[1] Jung viewed the anima process as being one of the sources of creative ability. I looked it directly in the eye as we connected. We acknowledged each other. I am no longer afraid. Shielded by the white light that covers me. Protected by all that IS. Some people get me, some people won't, some people will never get it. The beginning of individuation has led me to a place without boundary in strength, solidarity and love.

The CAFAM Shop is thrilled to introduce a new zine/small press section, curated by L.A. Zine Fest and The Pop-Hop . We're celebrating the launch of the new collaboration Saturday, April 18th, and you're invited. Work from The Blk Grrrl Show , John Pham, Yumi Sakugawa :: Comic Book Artist + Illustrator , Tiny Splendor , and Selfish. This is really exciting for me because I have been a zinester since 2010 with the launch of my Black Punk Rock themed zine "Abstract By Nature." I'll be there representing with the #blkgrrrl show and reciting a few of my poems from my chapbook "Rage Love Complexity." Very honored to share the stage with Pam Ward and Teka Lark Fleming. I donated books and I will have chapbooks available at the Pop Hop in Highland Park, Ca. See you there, Zoe Blaq
