Xone is a handcrafted, love-driven zine designed and curated by Queer and Trans People of Color (QTPOC). We believe in the restorative powers of community art-making and storytelling. In this issue we invite you to explore crush through the words and artwork shared by QTPOC from Dallas, Texas. With magnifying glasses of retrospect and reflection, these artists and writers help us examine the many facets of crush. With each new shift of the term - love, heartbreak, and liberation - they reveal to us the multitudes of our hearts. So whatever's been crushing you lately, we hope this issue helps you transform and transcend it. Take it all in and keep crushing your way into a new world.
