Hi, I'm Jamie! I have been a writer contributor on 10 different zines ranging from fandom zines to original content zines and I have mod experience on 3 different zines including this one, primarily in graphics, social media and formatting. As an Asian American woman trying to navigate the world, I'm incredibly excited to be a part of this project’s mission and I'm excited to help see this project through!

I’m an artist, I do animation, comic making, digital paintings, and graphic design. I’ve worked with other artists and writers on private projects but never a super collaborative one like this, with my experience as an artist and with organizational skills I wanted to start up a new project involving women. I’m an American lesbian women and wanted to share diversity.
