Gathered. A Zine for the Brave, the Becoming, and the Broken-Open.

Pull up a chair. Something beautiful is rising.

Gathered isn’t just a newsletter. It’s not a blog. And it sure as sugar isn’t another templated self-help digest.

It’s a zine—a lovingly assembled, storytelling-rooted, hand-curated collection of voices, metaphors, memory, and movement.
A zine is what happens when art meets advocacy. When lived experience refuses to be boxed in.
It’s raw. It’s rhythmic. It’s real.

And this one?
This one was born of grief, gumption, and journal pages scrawled at midnight.
Of tear-streaked lessons learned in community spaces where the silence finally cracked and we dared to share what hurt.
It’s stitched from the stories I carried as a caregiver, a daughter, a movement-builder, a mother.
From pantry tables and school board meetings.
From the sacred pauses and the soul-level protests.

🍞 The First Three Volumes Drop This June: A Storytelling Trilogy

Breadcrumbs & Blueprints – Inheritance, nourishment, and the loaves that raised me.
Seeds & Shards – How the broken pieces became the building blocks.
Rings & Remembrance – Tree-teller tales and the truths we carry forward.

This opening trilogy is a love letter to legacy and loss.
A map for the messy middle.
A soft place to land for anyone who’s ever asked:
What do I do with all this pain… and all this purpose?

Coming Soon!

🌳 What Comes Next

The zine will evolve in series and seasons, just like we do.

Future volumes will explore:

  • Activism as Healing – How movements begin at the kitchen sink.

  • The Quiet Radical – Reclaiming stillness in a world that glorifies hustle.

  • Parenting Through the Fire – Wisdom from the trenches of trauma-informed caregiving.

  • Letters to the Future – Story submissions, poetry, and prayers from the flock.

Each issue will center community, voice, and the radical act of being seen.

So check back soon.
Or better yet—leave your name in the bowl and I’ll call you when the first loaves come out of the oven.

Because this isn’t just a zine.
It’s a table.
And you belong here.
