I met Noemi over ten years ago through our shared love of zines. Those self-published, personal manifestos served as a witness to our lives, and continue as a source of expression in a world that doesn’t hold space for marginalized people.
Almost two decades after publishing her first zine, Noemi Martinez is putting together the Hermana Resist Zine Anthology; it’s a collection of all her zines to date. She says, “I wanted to document my experience as a young brown crip mother in a little place called the Rio Grande Valley as I dealt with being a single parent, poverty, working/working poor, chronically ill, depression/anxiety and all the feelings in between.”
