art about feeling seen & being kind to yourself (and others) issue two

we’re here to be inclusive, representative and create art for you that resonates, relates or makes you feel seen. its important to be authentic in the conversation of issues like mental health, lgbtqa+ bipoc experience and taking care during uncertain times.

we’re a zine, formerly short for fanzine, which is a self-made magazine that has evolved and shifted over the last 90 years. the zine is an unmatched form of publication - dipping its corners into the histories of punk rock, riot grrrl, black and queer communities, technological advances and printing of all types.

sugarkind is honored to be in your hands.

the fear of knowing

overcomes you – you don’t want to feel wrong but so many people are telling you you are

maybe you don’t want acceptance from those people – that to feel whole, you can ’t give yourself away to please those people.
