Life has a way of teaching us things with or without consent. The best thing I heard in a long time was that beliefs do not tell us who you are behavior does. I am not here to defend myself in anyway. Sometimes I sit back and find it entertaining how people have this set notion of who they think you are. They have built so many assumptions, preconceived ideas and judgments in their heads. The biggest suggestion I have in getting to know someone is to drop all judgements and assumptions. Then and only then will you get to know someone. If you don't, you will constantly be frustrated and wondering why they don't fit into your own selfish agenda. Embrace someone that is different from you. Accept it. We do not have to immediately attempt to repress, control and discipline others based on our own fear and ego. Entertaining.
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
