This year's zine is an ode to mothering. The mothering that we experience inside our families, the mothering we extend ourselves, the complexity of mothering and the healing that is possible from a place of intentionality and serendipity. The iconography for this edition of the zine is trees. An interesting fact around trees and gender. Some trees can be all one gender, those trees are called dioecious. While other trees can be gendered both male and female and those are called monoecious. Trees can also change gender from season to season while others change once or twice during their lifetime. I am reminded that tree gender is complex and ever-evolving like mothering. Each tree in the zine represents a mother in my family, from my great-grandmothers to my younger sister and are organized by themes of "roots", "complexity", "deathless", and "resumption".

Did you know that according to research, it is proven that Black women endure more in their menopausal stages compared to women of other races? The symptoms they experience are also usually stronger and last for a longer period in comparison to other women. Menopause is a normal occurrence for women approaching midlife. It is inevitable, along with the changes women are about to experience in their bodies that may also affect how they perceive themselves. It is a stressful period for women because for some, the way they see themselves or their role in their families or society changes because of the physical changes they’re going through. As several studies show, systematic racism plays a major role in why Black women have a harder and longer time dealing with menopause as compared to other races. It is not easy to change the attitude of society, but Black women can do something to help with their symptoms to better their health. One of these is through an effective diet plan, the Menopause Diet, along with a workout program that will help alleviate the symptoms of menopause. In the following guide, you will come across more information about: Menopause Stages and symptoms of menopause Menopause in Black women The Menopause Diet Foods to avoid and eat
