Mala’s Martes Media Minute : Jewels for Survival
10:43 am By Maegan La Mala · media justice|Women|Zines · Comments Off
6 Jul 2010Zines continue to confound me for some reason. As much as I love playing and working with paper and pen, the zine seems like a puzzle I cannot quite figure out.
This is why I am amazed in awe of dear amigas who make beautiful media, like Aaminah:
Cost: $10, includes shipping in U.S. and also includes Gems. Possible to trade, please contact us directly (thauradistro@gmail.com) to discuss trade options.
Title: Jewels for Survival Size: 54 pages, half page of 8 1/2 x 11
Description: these are lessons i have learned in my life, survival skills for this world & preparation for the next. the strugggle is for my own survival and to support all women of color around the world to do more than survive. i know that my survival is tied to the survival of my people, men and women.
Gems is a little “taste of the zine” that i am putting together. Everyone who purchases the zine will also get Gems thrown in. But you can purchase Gems as a stand-alone.
Gems – $2.50, includes shipping in U.S.
Title: Gems
Description: a small greeting card size that includes one poem from the Jewels for Survival zine (“when $50 is enough to save your life”) and four quotes pulled from the zine

Thanks!
Please support Aaminah and other radical media maker mujeres of color. They have been jewels in my own survival.
What is a Survivor? Que es un Sobreviviente

Amiga de VivirLatino, Noemi de Hermana, Resist wanted me to extend this question to the VivirLatino audience:
What does being a survivor mean to you? Leave a comment with what being a survivor is to you, your definition of survival and I’ll send you a printed copy of the Voces Zine and a 1″ survivor pin. Replies will be printed in the next issue of Voces. Anonymous answers are fine. Email me your address to get the goods: noemi.mtz at gmail.
Given the recent losses of life on the Mexico frontera with the U.S., the students on hunger strike in front of the offices of senators, it seems like such a timely question. I have my own answer that I will share over at Hermana, Resist and I ask that you share yours as well.
Announcing the Arrival of Don’t Leave Your Friends Behind #3
3:55 pm By Maegan la Mamita Mala · children|Family|Media|Zines · Comments Off
22 Apr 2010I love zines and secretly would love to have someone sit me down and walk me through making one (cuz I’m afraid of effing it up). In the meantime I’m happy to promote the zines of others especially if some of my favorite mamis and rwoc on the planet are a part of them, and yes I include myself.
“Don’t Leave Your Friends Behind” #3 is the third issue of a zine geared toward the non-parent radical community about how to be an ally to the parent(s) and children in their midst.
We made a PDF to better share it, so you can print, and distribute as you like: ithttp://issuu.com/strongwindsahead/docs/don_tleaveyourfriendsbehindzine3.bw.final
You can download the PDF for free pero you can also get a hard copy for $3. Click on the Don’t Leave Your Friends Behind Blog.
Supporting Radical Mami Media : BFP’s Remembering the Sun Zine
10:48 am By Maegan la Mamita Mala · Linking Latinos|Media|Women|Zines · 2 Comments
14 Mar 2010VivirLatino loves independent radical mujer media makers because we are independent radical mujer media makers. A dear amiga to VivirLatino, BFP has just released her second zine, just in time for la primavera : Remembering the Sun.
Written during the time between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox, aka The Most Depressing Time of The Year, this zine was motivated by the reality of instability–the need to hold onto something solid, real, loving–even as there seems to be nothing left in the world but desperate and lonely thoughts. Others have made through this darkest of time, and you and I will too. We are not alone.
The sun does return.
The “regular” zine is paper, the “special edition” features a cloth cover (made of old babybfp jeans–to better allow us to remember those days when our own jean knees were muddied and stained with joy) and a solid inner cover to protect the zine.
The regular zine is 1$ plus cost of 1 stamp (.44 cents–or if you just want to round it–but at least .44 cents) for US and 1.60$ for International.
The “special edition” is going to be sold to the first 11 people who make a donation of more than 5$. Postage 1$ for US and 2$ for International. Once the 11 are gone–they’re gone! So order quickly!!
As always–if you feel like donating more, please do so! All money goes towards woc media making (i.e. the costs of this site, of making zines, etc).
Get yours here! Be inspired. I know BFP inspires me.
