"Where Are You From?" (Race vs. National Identity)

I went through many of my old posts this week to make my new About Me page, and was struck by The South Asian Question in a New York Minute, a post I wrote on the conflicts within South Asian American identity.

Newsletter for October!

Hello! A new season is upon us and, though I'm ridiculously cold, I couldn't be happier. I love fall. This last month has been harvesting from the garden, touring, being sick, and getting the house ready for some winter nesting. It's been tumultuous in its seeming calm.

Also, they're gonna run a little one-page thing on Shotgun Seamstress in their July/August 2009 issue.

For those of you who've never heard of ColorLines:

It's Reclamation Time!

This is from a questionnaire I had to answer from BOOKLYN Artists Alliance, a book art project in Brooklyn NY. I wrote the response last year, in February 2008. It's basically about why I bother to write my zine, Shotgun Seamstress.

Shotgun Seamstress is a zine for people more or less like myself: Black, queer,

feminist, artist, musician, outsider. It is a zine primarily for Black people who

do not fit into white people's stereotypes of what a Black person should be, and… Continue
