In this video, I'll take you through my personal journey of launching "Jaded," an alternative fashion and lifestyle magazine that's now set to release biannually. I'll share insights into the inspiration behind the magazine, the process of creating thematic issues, and the lessons I've learned along the way. From the importance of accounting and budgeting to selecting the right software and managing contributions, I cover it all.

I also delve into the nitty-gritty of project management, crowdfunding versus out-of-pocket funding, and the value of marketing your zine effectively. Plus, I emphasize the importance of treating contributors fairly, offering them compensation for their work.

Whether you're considering creating a print or digital zine, this video provides practical advice and motivational stories to guide you through your zine-making adventure. I'm here to share what worked, what didn't, and how you can apply these lessons to your creative endeavors.

Posts on Friday on Friday but now on youtube: https://youtu.be/SNMcz3FcQxI

Feel free to reach out if you have questions or need advice on your zine project. Whether you're a person of color, part of a marginalized community, or just someone eager to learn, I'm here to support you. Let's create, share, and inspire together!
