Yes, Ma’am Press | Xicana Feminism: Issue 2. Yes, Ma’am is an intersectional feminist press out of Texas that prints small-editioned independent zines, includine Yes, Ma’am zine and the Microzine of Microaggressions.

Work included: This Land Is My Land | Dry Point | 6” x 4” | 2019
“The romance of print is dying, but the importance of self publication and expression never will. Zines are everyone’s novels and newspaper. A place to put what won’t fit when we try to write it on a wall. Politics, love, music, poetry, family stories, all parts of being a human on cheap paper with flimsy covers all say the same thing- “You are not alone”. This is the most powerful message in the printed world. Zines have helped me through some of the hardest times in my life with that simple idea. St. Sucia is a megaphone gritando NO ESTAS SOLA! Our goal is to share our stories, including the ones from mujeres who don’t consider themselves writers, artists, or poets. We want to share the stories we don’t tell, but other mujeres need to hear. We want to encourage other mujeres to express themselves. We are a space for gente who identify as mujer, in any way they choose to. Mujer is queer, mujer is straight, it’s political, it’s flaca, it’s gordita, it’s a grito, it’s a mouthed curse, it’s a walk alone at night. Mujer is a million things and so are you.” https://stsucia.bigcartel.com/about

The Roads to Junction: Making Art, Teaching Art | Higher Education By Future Akins & Ed Check, Kendall Hunt Publishing Company. Roads to Junction: Making Art, Teaching Art validates the artist identity that many art teachers across the country lose due to teaching overloads, limited or no time, and their own personal fears of lacking the talent to be called an artist. This book features stories, art works and essays from real-life art teachers who came to the Texas Tech Junction campus wanting to make art. They share their life histories, various cultural backgrounds, varying motivations and roadblocks. Each chapter represents a different theme connecting teachers and art to life: rethinking, sacred, social landscapes, visionary practices, and honoring.
